| Summary |
"Nurse's Handbook of Patient Education takes an ingenious twofold approach to one of the most crucial aspects of nursing practice. First, it succinctly explains how patients learn. Then it presents causes, potential complications, and essential teaching topics for scores of disorders, from Alzheimer's disease and heart failure to pneumonia and sickle cell syndrome. No other patient-teaching reference is as practical or easy to use, whether you're teaching at the bedside, in a day room, in a clinic, or in the patient's home. Book jacket."--Jacket. |
