Churchill/Livingstone

The book includes terms that are the concern of all nurses and terms that are relevant to specific areas of practice. The focused nursing information is supplemented by the inclusion of some applied anatomy &amp; physiology, important items from the medical and surgical specialties, and some basic psychology and sociology. Numerous in-depth entries explore issues rather than just provide a basic definition. There are, of course, a proportion of shorter definitions. The intentions are to use references in the in-depth entries and provide readers with other sources of information on the topic. Because the book does not attempt to cover other related areas the opportunity exists to provide comprehensive evidence-based information about important nursing issues. The style will is dictated by having an A-Z format but the intention is to highlight material in some of the in-depth entries. This is achieved with separate Practice application boxed items adjacent to the entry.
<ul>
<li>Entries explore issues, rather than giving just a basic definition</li>
<li>Pocket book format</li>
<li>A quick reference covering a wide range of topics</li>
<li>It is very nursing focused</li>
<li>Generously illustrated</li>
<li>Edited by an experienced nurse editor with a general, wide ranging knowledge of nursing</li>
<li>Combines the best material from a range of proven Elsevier publications</li>
