Fast Facts for the School Nurse provides quick access to information that busy school nurses need to practice competently and efficiently. Written by a nurse with more than 25 years of school nursing experience, this consistently organized reference offers straightforward guidelines to a range of daily tasks and nursing responsibilities. It provides clinical protocols for safe management of common childhood illnesses, accidents, and emergencies, along with legal and ethical considerations, documentation, and high-risk areas in school nursing practice.
The fourth edition has been substantially revised. Of significance is the first chapter which provides Words of Wisdom from school nurses and self-help guidance. Included also is expanded coverage of mental health issues, gender identity and transgenderism, and drug use. Information on technology in the school health office will also be updated. In addition, the new edition features new information on the COVID-19 pandemic and its lasting influence on school nursing practice. The summary questions at the end of each chapter will provide readers with immediate feedback.
Most school nurses are thrown into their positions with little or no experience or orientation to the school setting. Finding appropriate resources is difficult. Fast Facts for the School Nurse provides the concise and practical information needed for immediate school nurse performance and is suitable for both the nurse new to practice and the experienced school nurse.

Dateiformat: ePUBKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat ePUB ist sehr gut für Romane und Sachbücher geeignet - also für „fließenden” Text ohne komplexes Layout. Bei E-Readern oder Smartphones passt sich der Zeilen- und Seitenumbruch automatisch den kleinen Displays an. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
