This practical pocket guide covers: * the anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system * the principles of ergonomics * safe moving and handling practices * positioning the patient * performing a range of movement exercises * legal aspects of moving and handling * the promotion of sleep. This competency-based text covers relevant key concepts, anatomy and physiology, lifespan matters, assessment and nursing skills. To support your learning, it also includes learning outcomes, concept map summaries, activities, questions and scenarios with sample answers and critical reflection thinking points. Quick and easy to reference, this short, clinically-focused guide is ideal for use on placements or for revision. It is suitable for pre-registration nurses, students on the nursing associate programme and newly qualified nurses.
