To this effect there was a felt need to have an accessible quick reference booklet to all nurses working in the general wards listing guidelines relating to the most common clinical skills undergone routinely in the clinical practice. Hence, the ultimate aim of this clinical booklet is to have step by step guidelines with regards to the basic nursing skills by which conformity and uniformity in practice shall be maintained. Quality assurance can thus be attained enhancing measurable quality performance and outcomes.  \nIt is intended that any employee who is recruited as a nurse/midwife at Mater Dei hospital use these guidelines as a benchmark to nursing practice. Consequently, the clinical guidelines enlisted in this booklet are to be used as golden standards to which one can compare practice, especially when audits are conducted with the aim to improve clinical practice. Great attention was paid in the formulation of these guidelines, so that they are easy to read, flowing and constructed in such a way that one might depict the procedure whilst reading it.  \nAttention needs to be brought to nurses and midwives, the main target audience of these guidelines, that this is not a text book: hence it does not include all the theory and rationale pertaining to each procedure. This document focuses on the ‘hands on’procedure and not on the ‘why’ the procedure is necessary. It is intended to be used as a reference and a ward resource and not as a replacement for practice based education and reflection. Most of the guidelines are concise versions of a much more detailed and explored clinical procedures. Such exhaustive procedures can be easily accessed from the respective practice development or specialist nurse, according to the topic in question.  \nUnderstandably, the practice of nursing is dynamic and rapidly changing, so the responsibility for amendments and inclusion of other guidelines in the near future so as to apply the most recent evidence based practice in the clinical area, is reserved.  \nTable of Contents  \nChapter 1 Nursing Vital Observations ............................................................................................. 1-1  \n1.1 Pulse rate recording ................................................................................................................... 1-1  \n1.2 Blood pressure recording Using the Aneroid Syghmomanometer.............................................. 1-2  \n1.3 Temperature Recording .","cbCaisin6eDv6hvg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisin6eDv6hvg","pdf",3688624,181,"English","# Preface\n# Chapter 1 Nursing Vital Observations\n## Pulse rate recording\n## Blood pressure recording using the Aneroid Syghmomanometer\n## Temperature recording (Oral, Axilla)\n## Temperature recording using an electronic thermometer (Oral & axilla)\n## The tympanic thermometer\n## Weight recording\n# Chapter 2 Blood Glucose control\n## Blood Glucose Monitoring\n## One Dose Insulin Injection\n## Mixed dose Insulin Injection\n## Insulin Injection Techniques for Adults\n## Administration of Insulin Subcutaneous Injection\n# Chapter 3 Respiratory Care","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the MDH clinical booklet?\",\"answer\":\"It provides accessible step-by-step guidelines for basic nursing skills to maintain conformity and standardisation in routine clinical practice.
