THE EVIDENCE-BASED NURSING GUIDE TO SIGN & SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT

The Evidence-Based Nursing Guide to Sign & Symptom Management is part of a brand-new book series on evidence-based nursing. Solidly evidence-based and comprehensive, the book covers the latest understanding of over 150 signs and symptoms—their clinical significance and urgency, immediate interventions for life-threatening indicators, variations in different age, gender, and ethnic groups, and possible causes, including drugs, alternative medicines, tests, surgery, and environmental toxins. Graphic icons—including Health and Safety, Drug Watch, and In the News—highlight health and safety tips, clinical alerts, critical drug warnings, newsworthy developments and findings, and the evidence behind certain facts.
