"Featuring hundreds of full-color illustrations, photographs, wave forms, diagrams, and other creative visual aids, this colorful book provides a unique approach to learning disease pathophysiology and hands-on nursing procedures and treatments. The fully visual presentation lets nurses read less and understand more, improving their skills and gaining confidence through pictures. Step-by-step illustrations with succinct instructions show nurses exactly what to do when assessing patients and administering treatments. Disease pathophysiology is clearly and vividly depicted in anatomical illustrations. Colorfully illustrated patient teaching aids help nurses explain diseases and treatments to patients."--Publisher description.
