Summary

The fourth edition of Diseases and Disorders-A Nursing Therapeutics Manual will retain the features that impressed users in the last two editions. It has a succinct, easy-to-understand pathophysiology basis that allows students to apply the general concepts learned in patho or med-surg class to a specific disorder when caring for patients. It is the only book of its kind to include drug information that provides the student with a general idea of how many days the patient will be in the hospital so adequate planning can be done.
