Fluids and electrolytes are key subjects in nursing education that contribute to the student nurse's ability to meet the Standards of Proficiency of Care Delivery and Care Management: a requirement for entry to the nursing register. Fluids & Electrolytes Made Incredibly Easy! is an entertaining and informative book that reviews the fundamentals of fluids and electrolytes in a fun, interesting and easy-to-understand way. Organized into four parts, it provides comprehensive coverage of this challenging topic, including: fluid, electrolyte and acid-base basics; fluid and electrolyte imbalances; the importance and management of imbalances in major health problems; and treatments. This book is packed with numerous reader-friendly features including abundant charts, illustrations, cartoons, checklists, quick quizzes, memory joggers and chapter summaries. Drawing on current UK and European guidance, this book is an essential resource for nursing students.
Reviews / Votes
Lecturer, School of Healthcare Sciences, Bangor University, Karen Vipond -- "An excellent text. It is the only text that I have come across that relates difficult physiological concepts in an easy to understand way which is also related to nursing practice. It will enable students to see the physiological process behind what they are measuring and the effect that nursing intervention can have on the body. Well written and at the right academic level for nursing students."-Karen Vipond, Lecturer, School of Healthcare Sciences, Bangor University, Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales, UK Senior Lecturer, Anglia Ruskin University, Pauline Kingston -- "I consider this book very different from other textbooks - it is extremely student friendly."More details
