This is a new approach to nursing reference...The scope of nurse education and clinical practice has expanded considerably in recent years, requiring both students and practitioners to understand a wide range of issues in depth. The new edition of this established dictionary has been expanded and redesigned to provide a uniquely nursing-focused reference source far more suited to your needs than existing pocket nursing dictionaries, which are often restricted to little more than medical terminology. Now in an accessible 2-colour format, the increased size allows for broader in-depth coverage of the terminology and concepts needed for effective, holistic practice in today's multidisciplinary healthcare environment, including: adult nursing, cancer nursing and oncology, child health, complementary therapies, critical care, information technology, learning disabilities, management and policy issues, medico-legal and ethics, mental health, nutrition, pharmacology, public health, research, social and behavioural sciences, and terminology from physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and radiology.
