"From Abruptio Placentae to Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, adult and pediatric diseases are listed alphabetically with colored tabs for easy retrieval of essential information." "The 3rd Edition offers these great features: 32 diseases and conditions are added, including anthrax, autism, SARS, sleep apnea, West Nile virus, and more; Emergent icon highlights information that requires immediate attention; Therapeutic Management section now includes information on prevention and health promotion, plus family and patient education; Gender and Lifespan Considerations examine care for specific patient groups; each disease and condition includes definition, etiology, complications, diagnostic tests, and more; diseases and conditions are cross-referenced by both their scientific and their common names; and minimal use of nursing terminology makes the book easy to read and understand."--Jacket |
