The nurse plays a vital role as an educator, care provider, and advocate for patients and families affected by multiple sclerosis. Advanced Concepts in Multiple Sclerosis Nursing Care is the companion book to an earlier work, Comprehensive Nursing Care in Multiple Sclerosis. This current book examines complex issues in MS management and reflects a new philosophy of MS care, one of empowerment. The focus is on the numerous practice settings in which MS nurses practice as well as their many roles and responsibilities in managing this highly variable and difficult disease. This text will provide the reader with an updated view of MS along with a greater understanding of its lifelong impact. The book is divided into sections dealing with the disease itself, advanced practice requirements for nurses, advanced symptom management, and The Canadian Multiple Sclerosis Nursing Care Plan, a ready reference to disease management issues and strategies that will assist professionals in clinic, hospital, and community setting. Contributors to Advanced Concepts in Multiple Sclerosis Nursing Care are nurse clinicians and researchers who work in geographically diverse practice settings throughout North America and Europe. The book will provide nurses with tools and strategies to improve the lives affected by multiple sclerosis and to reinforce the role of the nurse in this challenging neurologic illness.
