Infos

Written specifically for nursing students and students studying for paramedical careers; it takes a conceptual approach rather that a disease centred approach. Case studies provide real-world examples, and student activities are included at the end of each chapter. New patient perspectives - these boxed applications are found throughout the text and are written by the patients who are actually suffering from the disease covered in the chapter.
