Needs of Children and Young People Living with Complex Mental Health Difficulties
This book highlights how it is increasingly important that nurses and other health and social care professionals working with or caring for children and young people (CYP) can contribute to the care and support these vulnerable individuals need. Given the limited specialist mental health services available for CYP, this book helps to recognise when referral to specialist services is required. It is aimed at providing nurses, other health and social care professionals with a comprehensive understanding of some of the complex mental health issues faced by young people today and to provide them with confidence in how to interact helpfully with them. While covering a range of complex mental health issues (such as self-harm, eating disorders, and psychosis) this book also explores wider factors that can influence poor mental health (such as being Looked After, having a disability, drugs and alcohol, and social media). Alongside these, it explores some of the wider systems and processes that can provide practical guidance to practitioners (having a Trauma-informed approach, awareness of risk management, and safeguarding). Lastly, the book recognises how overwhelming it can be for practitioners working in this field and explores how they can use reflective practice and self-care in the development of a therapeutic relationship that enables them to interact positively and non-judgementally with young people with complex mental health issues. Examples of good practice are provided throughout the book by using case scenarios and tips from young people with lived experience.This book will prove to be an invaluable guide to assist nurses, teachers, social workers, paramedics, health care assistants and police force in giving help and support to CYP.

Virtual Reality Interventions for Patients Under Palliative Care
Virtual Reality Interventions for Patients under Palliative Care is a groundbreaking guide that empowers healthcare professionals to transform end-of-life care with the innovative use of virtual reality (VR).
I Mean, There’s Somethin’ Seriously Wrong!
The book itself is all about such inhuman indignities both as a "resident"of the long-term care facility as well as a "guest" at a middle school cafeteria when we 343 aged, frail, individuals were ejected from a church where we were initially bussed from the institution, "Miracle Center" and left to suffocate in a sealed bus container in the parking lot of the church. Physical intolerable cruelty was magnified by endless instances of "nursing personnel" yelling and talking down to the helpless, elderly patients who were denied food, water, sleep, and prescribed medication and doctor mandated care. My background as a Biology major at college and my employment at a local hospital in the northeast gave me a unique perspective on overall patient care. But nothing remotely prepared me for the absolutely inhuman treatment that we "residents" received from a wide variety of medical "professionals" during my 4-month residence at the "Miracle Center' institution, nor the abomination of a totally bungled, criminally negligent transport between the "skilled" nursing facility, the unsanctioned church destination, and finally, what we all called the "cafeteria-from-hell" where we were forced to ride out the brunt of the devastation from the hurricane. As traumatic as all of the transportation experiences; before, during and after the hurricane so disgustingly were, that treatment we all received in our facility rooms was even more inhumane and tragic. I made every effort to report these flagrant abuses of basic human indecency to the proper state medical authorities, but they as well as the institution itself always seemed to be hell-bent on covering up, dismissing. or otherwise denying that such atrocities even took place. I desperately reach out to readers from all walks of life to spread the word about the dismaying reality of what truly happens daily and incessantly in these "butcher shops" all across the United States of America and, indeed, around the world. You're hearing this from someone right in the thick of this obscene and criminal nightmare from hell with the hope that someone, somewhere, is in a position to stop it before more innocent elderly lives are lost!

Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) are critical conditions that arise from elevated intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), which can significantly impact patient outcomes, especially in critically ill individuals.

It also reviews the predisposing and contributing factors (staff shortage, work overload, fatigue) and describes the types of errors, including omission, medication errors (prescribing, dosing), identification errors, and procedural errors to name a few. Consequences, detection, and monitoring for nursing errors are also included.The book describeshow errors can be avoided by taking the appropriate measures and how they can be adequately managed according to current evidence-based practice. Recommendations for further study are also provided.This is a valuable resource for professional nurses, as well as nurse educators, leaders, and mentors to train and guide their students and novice nurses.
