Accurate clinical observations are fundamental to competent and
safe healthcare practice. The Biological Basis of Clinical
Observations gives readers the understanding needed to perform
clinical observations accurately, make accurate judgements about
the patient's condition and make accurate decisions concerning
patient care. This useful textbook integrates clear explanations of
the techniques involved in making clinical observations, alongside
the biological knowledge which gives them meaning. For each topic,
it explains the pathological basis for variations in observed
results, focusing on relevant anatomy and physiology, genetics and
pharmacology, and the basic principles of care. In addition to new
chapters on blood tests and pregnancy, the text has been updated
throughout. It now incorporates increased coverage of paediatrics,
movement and the musculo-skeletal system, the lymphatic system,
pregnancy, diabetes, homeostasis and infection, among other areas.
Topics discussed include: temperature cardiovascular observations
respiratory observations urinary and bowel observations
neurological observations nutrition fluid balance skin drug side
effects, interactions and allergies. The Biological Basis of
Clinical Observations is a unique text which integrates
explanations of essential procedures with the biological knowledge
that underpins practice. It is essential reading for all nursing
and health students preparing for clinical practice.
Fully updated for its fourth edition, The Biological Basis of
Clinical Observations provides readers with the understanding
needed to perform clinical observations, make accurate judgements
about the patient’s condition and make good decisions concerning
patient care. This essential textbook supports safe and effective
clinical practice by explaining the techniques involved in making
clinical observations, alongside the biological knowledge which
gives them meaning. For each topic, it explains the pathological
basis for variations in observed results, focusing on relevant
anatomy and physiology, genetics and pharmacology, and the basic
principles of care. A greatly expanded chapter on pharmacology
reflects the increased importance of this subject in the nursing
curriculum. Topics discussed include: temperature cardiovascular
observations respiratory observations urinary and bowel
observations neurological observations • nutrition fluid balance
skin pharmacology pregnancy. The Biological Basis of Clinical
Observations is a unique text which integrates explanations of
essential procedures with the biological knowledge that underpins
practice. It is essential reading for all nursing and healthcare
students preparing for clinical practice.
In 2000 the Department of Health issued a number of initiatives,
with improving cancer treatment and research, and providing greater
resources for cancer care being made a priority. Nurses and their
colleague will be at the forefront of these changes.
The book presents specialized biological information on what cancer
is, how it damages the body, and how cancer treatments work.
Engaging, accessible and illustrated throughout, this unique text:
*explains the basic biology of cancer
*discusses the biology of wide range of common cancers
*identifies and explains the biological causes of cancer
*explains drug action in chemotherapy and analgesia
*explains the link between diet and cancer, and how diet is
important in cancer therapy
*discusses the biological basis of a range of nursing skills linked
to cancer.
This book will provide nurses with the essential knowledge required
for working with cancer patient and their families, and will enable
them to work with current and new forms of cancer treatment. It
will also be of great use to clinical staff and nurse educators.
This book explores the underlying biology and neuroscience
associated with mental health and wellbeing. This fully revised
fourth edition includes new chapters on behavioural science, and
brain-gut and brain-gender connections, as well as expanded content
on memory and genetics. Integrating up-to-date pharmacological and
genetic research with an understanding of environmental factors
that impact on human biology, The Biological Basis of Mental Health
covers topics including brain development, neural communication,
neurotransmitters and receptors, hormones and behaviour, genetic
disorders, pharmacology, substance misuse, anxiety, schizophrenia,
depression, epilepsy, subcortical degenerative diseases of the
brain, dementia, developmental disorders and sleep. This unique
textbook is an essential read for all healthcare students,
practitioners and educators with an interest in mental health and
neuroscience.
