Synopsis:

This book is a useful adjunct to the practicing nurse. Designed to be a quick reference guide rather than a comprehensive source of information, the emphasis is placed on information for which the nurse is responsible, but may not have committed to memory. It provides information useful in assessment, clinical practice, infection control, basic emergency care, and caring for clients from many different cultures. Sections on clinical referrals, the Internet, and professional networking enhance the nurse's personal and professional growth. The easy-to-use thumb tab format makes locating information quick and effortless. This book is a "must Have" for nurses practicing in today's health care environment.
