Whether in hospitals, long-term care facilities, or patients' homes, today's nurses are on the front line of patient care. While medical-surgical nursing remains one of the most demanding practices for nurses, it's also one of the most exciting and challenging. Now more than ever, nurses need effective, dependable tools when caring for their patients in today's complex health care environment. In its fourth edition, Handbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing continues to be such a tool. This new edition has has been fully revised yet retains its alphabetical organization and reliable, easy-to-use format. Each disorder entry includes a brief introduction followed by causes, complications, physical assessment findings, expected diagnostic results, treatment strategies, key nursing diagnoses and patient outcomes, and related nursing interventions, including monitoring and patient teaching. In the treatment entries, you'll see a similar organizational format, including a description of the procedure; possible complications; key nursing diagnoses and patient outcomes; nursing interventions for before, during, and after the procedure; and home-care instructions. This edition has been updated to succinctly cover disorders linked with bio-terrorism, such as anthrax, plague, and variola. New treatments also have been added, including cardiac resynchronization therapy. Special design icons are used throughout the text to highlight important information; they include Pediatric pointer, Alert, Collaboration, Expert geriatric care, Nursing priority, Health promotion tip, and Life-threatening complications as well as a new icon, Gender differences. Important appendices include an updated Quick-reference guide to laboratory test results, which now includes SI values; and the newly added Emergency responses to bioterrorism, chemical exposure, and radiation; Resources for professionals, patients, and caregivers; and English-Spanish quickreference guide. More than 500 illustrations, charts, diagrams, and flowcharts offer insight and provide an understanding of key concepts to help the medical-surgical nurse better meet her patient's needs. Handbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing, Fourth Edition, is packed with usable and pertinent information that's easily accessible, arming today's nurse with the vital knowledge needed to effectively care for patients across all spectrums of care and improve their outcomes. Indeed, this fourth edition of Handbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing continues to be an essential, cutting-edge resource in this ever-changing technologically advanced field.
