Excerpt from Surgical Nursing
In publishing a second edition of this volume, the work has been carefully revised, and has been enlarged by the addition of a chapter on wounds and their complications. The nursing in special cases has been dealt with more in detail; any new method being given which in the experience of the author seems of value.
The volume is written for that large body of nurses whose surgical training has been limited to small hospitals or to a special line of work, and whose technical education is not sufficiently advanced to enable them thoroughly to master the subject of general nursing in all its details, as presented in the more elaborate works of physicians and surgeons, with which it does not pretend to enter into competition.
The aim of the author is to give a concise outline of surgical nursing in general, together with a list of antiseptic agents, the mode of preparation of the various materials used in antiseptic and aseptic surgery, and the application of splints and fixed dressings.
