Mini Encyclopaedia of Nursing

Więcej o książce

The book will include terms that are the concern of all nurses and terms that are relevant to specific areas of practice. The focused nursing information will be supplemented by the inclusion of some applied anatomy & physiology, important items from the medical and surgical specialties, and some basic psychology and sociology.The book will include many in-depth entries that explore issues rather than just provide a basic definition. There will of course be a proportion of shorter definitions. The intentions are to use references in the in-depth entries and provide readers with other sources of information on the topic. Because the book will not attempt to cover other related areas the opportunity exists to provide comprehensive evidence-based information about important nursing issues.The style will, to some extent, be dictated by having an A-Z format but the intention is to highlight material in some of the in-depth entries. This will be achieved with separate Practice application boxed items adjacent to the entry.
