About the Book

Real World Nursing Survival Guide: Complementary and Alternative Therapies is a study and review aid for nursing students who are struggling with this challenging and relatively "uncharted" subject area. This book offers a visual, interactive approach that clearly and engagingly explains how to integrate complementary and alternative therapies into more conventional nursing care. This REAL WORLD GUIDE consists of four parts. Part One: "Pharmacologic Therapies" discusses 30 commonly-used herbal products and dietary supplements, covering Actions, Dose, Side Effects, Indications and Uses, Contraindications and Precautions, Patient History, Potential Drug Interactions, and Patient Education. Part Two: "Non-Pharmacologic Therapies" discusses 25 alternative therapies, covering Benefits and Uses, Risks and Precautions, Patient Education, and Practitioners. Part Three: "Helpful Cross-References" includes an alphabetical index of conditions and uses for which the therapies are effective, as well as an index of side effects of the various therapies. Part Four contains a variety of Learning Activities with answers. The questions are referenced by section to give students an opportunity to test their knowledge and review topics that they still find difficult.
