Dictionary of Nursing

A new approach to nursing reference...  

 The scope of nurse education and clinical practice has expanded considerably in recent years, requiring both students and practitioners to understand a wide range of issues in depth. The new edition of this established dictionary has been expanded and redesigned to provide a uniquely nursing-focused reference source far more suited to your needs than existing pocket nursing dictionaries, which are often restricted to little more than medical terminology.  
 
Now in an accessible 2-colour format, the increased size allows for broader in-depth coverage of the terminology and concepts needed for effective, holistic practice in today's multidisciplinary healthcare environment, including:  

• Adult nursing

• Cancer nursing and oncology

• * Child health

• Complementary therapies

• * Critical care

• * Information technology.

• Learning disabilities

• Management and policy issues

• * Medico-legal and ethics

• * Mental health

• Nutrition

• . . Terminology from physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and radiology.
