Description
"The Core Curriculum for Transplant Nurses" provides transplant and critical care nurses guidance in caring for solid organ transplant recipients. The focus of this book is the critical care aspects of transplantation, including pre-transplant candidates awaiting a new heart, liver or lungs while in the intensive care unit. Because each organ transplanted has its own unique requirements for patient care, there are separate chapters for heart, lung, kidney, liver, small intestines, and pancreas/islet cell transplantation. Each chapter addresses discharge planning for patients and families. There are also separate chapters on topics that affect all organs such as immunology, infections, pharmaceutical agents and patient education. The information is organized according to each organ transplanted in addition to chapters that address issues common to all transplant recipients such as immunology, infections, immunosuppression, and patient education.
