内容説明
This is a comprehensive guide to veterinary clinical procedures, edited by an experienced veterinary nurse trainer. "Clinical Procedures in Veterinary Nursing" is designed to provide a detailed 'skills analysis' of all the clinical procedures likely to be performed by a veterinary nurse in modern small animal practice, covering a wide range of companion and exotic species. There is a large number of informative tables and each chapter begins with a list of the procedures contained within that section to provide quick access to information. Lists of equipment are also provided. Taking a unique approach that explains, in an accessible, step-by-step format, the practical procedures used daily in veterinary practice, this essential reference source covers all aspects of a veterinary nurse's tasks, concentrating on small animal procedures. Clearly illustrated, with accompanying text provided in easy-to-access bullet-point format, each procedure includes an explanation of the theory behind the rationale, thus linking the classroom with clinical practice.
