Essentials of Applied Microbiology for Nurses (Including Infection Control and Safety)

Essentials of Applied Microbiology for Nurses, Including Infection Control and Safety , is thoroughly framed as per the revised Indian Nursing Council curriculum for BSc Nursing 2021. The book is divided into two parts: Applied Microbiology (General Microbiology, Immunology, Bacterial, Viral, Parasitic and Fungal Infections) and Infection Control including Safety (Hospital-Acquired Infections, Standard and transmission-based precautions, HAI surveillance and HICC, Sterilization and disinfection, Biomedical Waste management, Needle stick injury, Environmental surveillance, Laundry management, Immunization for healthcare workers, and Antimicrobial stewardship). This edition adds a completely new chapter on COVID-19, separate chapters on infective syndromes (bloodstream infection, meningitis, UTI, diarrhea, etc.), a dedicated Practical Microbiology chapter for nursing-relevant lab skills, a dedicated Specimen Collection chapter, and new chapters on Patient Safety and Safety Protocol for Healthcare Workers (patient safety indicators, incident/adverse events, International Patient Safety Goals). It carries forward the concise, bulleted, exam-friendly format and highlighted topic/treatment boxes of the authors' popular MBBS microbiology textbook. Who This Book Is For: BSc Nursing Students: as their core Applied Microbiology and Infection Control text for the revised 2021 INC syllabus.
