About the Book

"The Evidence-Based Nursing Guide to Sign & Symptom Management" is part of a brand-new book series on evidence-based nursing. Solidly evidence-based and comprehensive, the book covers the latest understanding of over 150 signs and symptoms-their clinical significance and urgency, immediate interventions for life-threatening indicators, variations in different age, gender, and ethnic groups, and possible causes, including drugs, alternative medicines, tests, surgery, and environmental toxins. Graphic icons-including Health and Safety, Drug Watch, and In the News-highlight health and safety tips, clinical alerts, critical drug warnings, newsworthy developments and findings, and the evidence behind certain facts.
