Diseases and Disorders

Now in its third edition, this 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 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 nurses to understand the scientific basis for the nursing care patients need. It is an excellent reference for nurses working in community and clinical settings and students transitioning from classroom to clinical settings.
