Diseases and Disorders: A Nursing Therapeutics Manual
Search in google:
Everything your students need to know about caring for patients is in this one portable reference! Now in its third edition, Diseases and Disorders: A Nursing Therapeutics Manual, containing complete information on hundreds of disorders, is still a "must have" reference for every nurse. In a concise format, this handbook allows nurses and students to quickly find -- and understand -- information on disorders so they can effectively plan nursing care. Offering a clear but comprehensive discussion of pathophysiology, and providing rationales in the medications and laboratory sections, Diseases and Disorders will help students understand the scientific basis for the nursing care patients need. It is an excellent reference for students transitioning from classroom to clinical settings and nurses working in community and clinical settings. NEW! Expanded coverage of gender and life span considerationsNEW! Information on genetics and an explanation of differences in health and disease conditions based on racial and ethnic ancestryMore than 250 diseases and disorders encountered in nursing practiceEach disorder begins with the Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) and covers causes, pertinent physical and psychosocial findings, life span considerations, primary nursing diagnoses, and collaborative and independent nursing interventions, plus documentation information on average length of stay and home healthcare guidelinesPrimary nursing diagnoses with outcomes and interventions are highlightedDiagnostic Highlights tables make locating pertinent test results quick and easy Pharmacologic Highlights tables outline drugs most commonly used for a disorder, including the dosage, mechanism of action, and rationales for use Emphasizes patient teaching and essentials of home carePatient teaching checklists ensure that the patient receives all essential information before discharge Phyllis Murray This manual of nursing therapeutics covers a wide range of conditions, providing a concise review of each disorder, developmental considerations, and nursing process activities. It aims to provide ""distilled"" and ""cutting-edge"" information that is practicable in fast-paced modern healthcare. Intended for nursing students and staff, it could serve a broad scope of practice venues. Clear print and tables enhance the presentation of data. The absence of graphics is no deterrent. The table of contents is alphabetical for convenience and the index is well-detailed. LOS, DRG's, and descriptors follow the disease title. Nursing assessment includes history, physical exam, diagnostic tests, and nursing diagnoses. Planning/Implementations describe collaborative and independent role functions. Outcome measures are specific for clinical, documentation, and discharge/home health concerns. This is a great text for students, generalist staff nurses, or others who work with a broad range of client ages and conditions in clinics, offices, communities, and acute care. The topics of Guillain-Barre, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, hypothyroidism, fat embolus, and pulmonary fibrosis are excellent. Medications for Alzheimer's and glaucoma fail the ""cutting edge"" criteria. Also missing in glaucoma is low pressure disease and the higher African-American risk. Overall, I recommend the book as an excellent quick refresher for conditions not encountered frequently because it will stimulate safe and comprehensive care.
