This wide-ranging book not only provides in-depth information on rheumatology, but also establishes a format upon which nurses can base interventions for patient care. It leads nurses step by step through ten of the most frequently encountered rheumatologic patient problems and provides assessment etiologies for each of them. Ultimately, the book offers a comprehensive model which demonstrates the interrelationships of the most common problems.
