Product Overview
Designed for quick reference at the nurses' station, this handbook presents succinct, bulleted information on 450 diseases. It provides a rapid refresher on the key facts a nurse needs to understand the clinical course of a disease and hone in on required care.
Diseases are alphabetically organized and each disease is presented on an easy-to-scan two-page spread. Each disease entry includes pathophysiology, causes, complications, assessment, treatment, nursing interventions, outcomes, and patient education. Key information is flagged by logos such as Life-Threatening Disorder; and Age Issue, citing age-related concerns.
Nurse's Quick Check: Diseases is also available for PDAs. See PDA listing for details.
