Dennis Purcell's Minor Injuries handbook is a 'must have' for all nurses working in the field. The man is gifted and he shares his skills well! The above Amazon review reflects what many readers have thought about this beautifully prepared volume since its initial publication over a decade ago. A quick dip into its depths will quickly take you into the fascinating realms of minor injury and trauma and open the doors into the effective use of modern diagnostics and clinical management in a variety of patient settings. Dennis Purcell is an established master in the field, and he uses his skill and considerable expertise to explain to the specialist trauma nurse what they are seeing, why they are seeing it, and what they can do to promote effective healing and recovery. Recognizing that minor injuries may not always be minor, and that pain and or clinical signs may not be linked to trauma but be part of a separate disease process, Purcell demystifies the techniques of history and examination, classifies injuries, explains normal anatomy and functionality and explores the importance of accurate record keeping within the context of the law. Clearly written in an engaging and non-threatening style, this book represents the perfect guide to modern trauma management and is ideal for anyone working in Emergency Departments, Minor Injury Units, or Walk in Centres.
