Practice Nurse Handbook

This is a completely revised and updated edition as many issues in practice nursing have moved on apace since the first edition was written in 1984. The extended role of the practice nurse has become widely accepted and many of the additions to the book deal with the consequences of the extended role in more detail. Other developments include improvements in the equipment available for preventive and clinical care in the treatment room, and details of these are given. Clinical advances in contraception, diabetes, asthma, and other major issues in which the practice nurse plays a key part are explored.
