Download or read book Core Curriculum for Nephrology Nursing written by Counts Caroline and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As can be easily seen, Module 2 contains assorted material to assist the nurse in understanding kidney disease, the patient with kidney disease, and interrelated topics. Chapter 1 begins with an in-depth review of genetics and genomics, since many experienced nurses learned relatively little about the topic when in school. The completion of the Human Genome Project catapulted genetic research that is already transforming health care and has great potential to continue this transformation. It certainly includes nephrology care and requires that nephrology nurses be knowledgeable about the matter. The chapter also covers anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology. Chapter 2 focuses specifically on chronic kidney disease and delivers a more detailed approach than the material presented in the previous chapter. Chapter 3 provides a wide array of material to be considered when caring for an individual patient. One of the new areas includes focus on the veteran. Chapter 4 concentrates on nutrition, and Chapter 5 addresses pharmacology. It behooves every nurse to always stay abreast of changes regarding medications, as this is one area that can change rapidly. At all times, be familiar with the package insert and consult with a pharmacist or other reliable source as needed. The foundation of Chapter 6 is infection control practices and is another area where information can change rapidly. Information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was used extensively as a resource.

This book was released on 2007-05-30 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 400,000 people in the United States undergo kidney dialysis. If you or a member of your family are one of them, then the prospect of a regular appointment with a dialysis machine may seem like the end of life itself. But that reaction couldn't be more wrong. In Dialysis Without Fear, psychiatrist and dialysis patient Dr. Daniel Offer joins with his wife, Marjorie Kaiz Offer, and daughter, Susan Offer Szafir, to reveal how life can be lived--and lived well--on dialysis. Drawing on his long medical career and more than seven years of personal experience with dialysis, Dr. Offer dispels many misconceptions surrounding this treatment, explaining how you can adapt to the new diet, travel, work and continue to partake in life's joys and celebrations. But the fears and hardships can be quite real, and Dr. Offer brings his years as a psychiatrist to bear as he provides practical advice on how patients can overcome them. Walking through each step of dialysis, he explains different types of treatment, examines the pros and cons of a transplant, and discusses side effects. Since dialysis affects the entire family, Dr. Offer and his coauthors also provide realistic insights into how relatives can cope and thrive together, sharing the humor, courage, and triumphs of real families who have successfully faced the challenges of dialysis. The result is an inspiring, practical guide that will help you and your family learn to overcome the difficulties of dialysis, live without fear, and enjoy every day.
