Trang 9Preface
Through years of clinical practice and teaching, I have
observed that orientation to each major clinical nursing
specialty usually leads the novice to ask a somewhat dictable set of questions ranging from specialty-related
pre-communication, to assessment and anatomy, physiology,
and pathology involved in frequently seen conditions to
questions related to the planning and implementation of
patient care Many excellent texts are available to providein-depth information related to these topics Although theuse of such texts is essential to the acquisition of a thor-
ough knowledge of comprehensive patient care, these textsare frequently too cumbersome to carry to the clinical
area, where on-the-spot information may be needed
My goal in writing this book has been to provide a
portable and easy-to-use source for quick answers to tions I have frequently heard from students and practicingnurses The sections of this book pertain to each major
ques-clinical nursing specialty and are identified by printed tabs
to speed access to the information At the end of each tion are blank pages, which allow users to “customize” thebook by adding information that they find helpful for eachspecialty
sec-It is hoped that the handy availability of information inthis pocket-sized reference book not only will improve theaccuracy and quality of patient care, but also will relieve
some of the stress that students and graduate nurses rience when they must move from one clinical specialty
expe-area to another
