About this ebook
The Procedure Checklists for Wilkinson's Fundamentals of Nursing, 5th Edition by Leslie S. Treas, Karen L. Barnett, and Mable H. Smith includes detailed checklists for over 165 common nursing procedures. These checklists are aligned with Volume 2 (Practical Knowledge/Skills Lab) of the core textbook. [1, 2, 3]
The book begins with a foundational, universal Principles-Based Procedure Checklist (covering standard safety steps such as hand hygiene, patient identification, privacy, and body mechanics) that applies to all clinical interventions. Following that, individual step-by-step checklists are organized by clinical topics and physiological functions: [1, 2]
1. Essential Nursing Actions & Clinical Skills
- Measuring Vital Signs: Core techniques for assessing temperature, pulse, respirations, blood pressure, and pain. [1]
- Health Assessment: Detailed physical head-to-toe examination techniques and specific regional assessments. [1, 2]
- Promoting Asepsis & Preventing Infection: Hand hygiene, donning/doffing personal protective equipment (PPE), maintaining sterile fields, and isolation precautions. [1, 2]
- Promoting Safety: Fall prevention protocols, use of restraints, and environmental hazard checks. [1]
- Facilitating Hygiene: Bed baths, oral care, perineal care, and bedmaking. [1]
- Administering Medications: Non-parenteral (oral, topical, ophthalmic, otic) and parenteral injections (intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous push/piggyback) using standard safety medication rights. [1]
2. Supporting Physiological Functioning
- Nutrition: Assisting with feeding, placing nasogastric (NG) tubes, and enteral nutrition administration.
- Urinary Elimination: Straight or indwelling catheter insertion, catheter care, and urine specimen collection.
- Bowel Elimination: Administering enemas, ostomy care, and fecal impaction removal.
- Oxygenation: Correct oxygen therapy setup, deep breathing/coughing exercises, pulse oximetry tracking, tracheostomy care, and airway suctioning.
- Circulation & Perfusion: Applying anti-embolism stockings or sequential compression devices (SCDs).
- Hydration, Homeostasis & IV Therapy: Initiating intravenous lines, calculating flow rates, changing IV dressings, and managing fluid balance.
- Skin Integrity & Wound Healing: Wound irrigation, sterile dressing changes, applying binders or bandages, and managing surgical drains.
- Activity & Mobility: Safe patient transfers, proper positioning in bed, and range-of-motion (ROM) exercises.
- Sleep & Rest: Environment optimization and relaxation-promoting interventions. [1, 2, 3]
3. Specialized and Perioperative Care
- Perioperative Nursing: Pre-operative prepping, checklists, and immediate post-anesthesia/post-operative physical care.
- Sensory Perception: Caring for visual or hearing aids, and managing safety interventions for sensory deficits. [1, 2, 3]
The entire checklist layout is designed for student skill acquisition, peer-to-peer check-offs, and clinical lab evaluations. You can explore or purchase the digital textbook options on the F.A. Davis Store or rent the physical companion guide directly through VitalSource. [1]
