Trauma Nursing Core Course Provider Manual (TNCC) 7th Edition

The purpose of TNCC is to teach registered nurses (RNs) core-level knowledge and psychomotor skills, which are defined as central or key elements of the multidimensional processes involved in the initial assessment and management of injured patients. TNCC also provides a foundation for integrated communication and collaboration in trauma teamwork. The trauma nursing process (TNP) skill station was created to develop and reinforce a systematic and standardized approach for the assessment and interventions of the trauma patient, helping nurses to build a firm foundation and refine skills in trauma nursing. The intent of TNCC is to help the nurse develop a rapid and accurate approach to caring for the trauma patient and ultimately contribute to a decrease in the morbidity and mortality associated with trauma. TNCC consists of lectures, hands-on psychomotor skill stations, and interactive online learning. TNCC is based on the nursing process, which is emphasized through the components of the course. New to this edition, interactive online learning reinforces chapter content with case studies and learning activities designed to enhance the learner's knowledge of care principles presented within chapters. This Seventh Edition of the TNCC's Provider Manual had been updated by members of the TNCC Seventh Edition Revision Work Team and trauma nursing experts in both the United States and internationally.
