Emerging adulthood : the winding road from the late teens through the twenties / by Arnett, Jeffrey Jensen.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Preface to the second edition -- Preface to the first edition -- A longer road to adulthood -- What is it like to be an emerging adult? : four profiles -- From conflict to companionship : a new relationship with parents -- Love and sex : new freedoms, new problems -- Meandering toward marriage -- Road through college : twists and turns -- Work : more than a job -- Digital natives : emerging adults' many media uses -- Sources of meaning : religious beliefs and values -- How important is social class? -- Wrong turns and dead ends -- Sometimes goodbye is a second chance : resilience in emerging adulthood -- Beyond emerging adulthood : what does it mean to become an adult? -- Notes -- References -- Index.In recent decades, the lives of people in their late teens and twenties have changed so dramatically that a new stage of life has developed. In his provocative work, Jeffrey Jensen Arnett has identified the period of emerging adulthood as distinct from both the adolescence that precedes it and the young adulthood that comes in its wake. Arnett's new paradigm has received a surge of scholarly attention due to his book that launched the field, Emerging Adulthood. On the 10th Anniversary of the publication of his groundbreaking work, the second edition of Emerging Adulthood fully updates and expands Arnett's findings and includes brand new chapters on media use, social class issues, and the distinctive problems of this life stage. In spite of the challenges they face, Arnett explains that emerging adults are particularly skilled at maintaining contradictory emotions--they are confident while being wary, and optimistic in the face of large degrees of uncertainty. Merging stories from the lives of emerging adults themselves with decades of research, Arnett covers a wide range of topics, including love and sex, relationships with parents, experiences at college and work, and views of what it means to be an adult. He also refutes many of the negative stereotypes about emerging adults today, finding that they are not "lazy" but remarkably hard-working in most cases, and not "selfish" but rather concerned with making a contribution to improving the world. As the nature of American youth and the meaning of adulthood further evolve, Emerging Adulthood will continue to be essential reading for understanding the face of modern America.--Publisher description.

Emergency nursing made incredibly easy! / by Gersch, Carolyn J.,editor.; Heimgartner, Nicole M.,editor.; Rebar, Cherie R.,editor.;
"The need for emergency nursing to remain incredibly easy continues as we look with confidence and anticipation into the future of health care. Each year adds to the list of new health care challenges and opportunities. With 136.9 million visits annually to emergency departments per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is no surprise that knowledgeable emergency nurses are relied on to provide the quickest and best possible care. One key role of the emergency nurse is to quickly assess the patient's chief concern and act if necessary. Emergency Nursing Made Incredibly Easy! Third Edition will help the nurse hone these vital skills. This book covers the evidence-based triage process and holistic care issues such as culture and pain considerations. Subsequent chapters focus on physiologic systems, covering neurologic, cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal emergencies. It also discusses wound care management, genitourinary and gynecologic emergencies, obstetric emergencies, maxillofacial and ocular emergencies, psychiatric emergencies, environmental emergencies, mass casualty events and disaster response, and shock and multisystem trauma. The clear language and illustrations will help readers anticipate and assess certain conditions and prevent predictable complications. Recurring topics for each section include how to assess the patient, diagnostic tests that may be done, and treatment options to anticipate. A Quick quiz at the end of each chapter tests the reader's knowledge on the information presented. This book can help practicing emergency nurses learn more about their current position. It can also help student nurses, and nurses from other specialties, build confidence in knowing how to respond in emergent situations.
