Description
"Review of Hemodialysis for Nurses and Dialysis Personnel" is a practical, straightforward introduction to dialysis. It assumes no prior knowledge of patient care, nursing procedures, or dialysis principles on the part of the reader and is comprehensive without being overwhelming. This sixth edition retains its hallmark question and answer format. The content emphasizes the basics preparing the reader for more advanced discussions as they are introduced. Definitions along with the how and why of principles and effects are provided to facilitate understanding and learning. The authors emphasize an interdisciplinary approach providing an overview of the dialysis technology involved and the relationship of dialysis to nursing, nutrition and medicine.
