The book Nursing Diagnoses in Psychiatric Nursing Care Plans and Psychotropic Medications is written by Mary C. Townsend. Standardization of nursing actions and common terminology is important in providing consistent care over time, between nurses, across shifts, and even between different healthcare agencies. This text incorporates the nomenclature from Taxonomy II that has been adopted by NANDA-I.There are people who believe that the NANDA list is incomplete. My intent is not to judge the completeness of this list, but rather to suggest the need for clinical testing of what is available. NANDA encourages nurses to submit new diagnoses or considerations after testing and investigation of that diagnosis have been conducted in the clinical setting.   Topics of this Edition Intro...

The book Cardiac Pacemakers and Resynchronization Step-by-Step is written by S. Serge Barold, Roland X. Stroobandt, Alfons F. Sinnaeve. The impetus for writing this book came from our observations that many young health professionals and physicians working in emergency rooms, intensive care units, and coronary units were unable to correctly interpret EKGs from simple pacemakers. Over the years, we have also heard many complaints from novices in the pacing field that virtually all, if not all, of the available books are overly complicated and nearly impossible to understand. In fact, the ever-changing progress of electrical stimulation makes cardiac pacing a moving target. Therefore, we decided to rise to the challenge and write a book for beginners equipped with only a rudimentary knowledg...

The book Cardiology Secrets is written by Glenn N. Levine. This book is the third edition of Cardiology Secrets that I have edited, and overall the thirteenth book that I have written or edited. My hope again is that this book, with its unique format, will serve to educate healthcare providers in a didactic, interactive, interesting, and engaging way about the optimal assessment and management of patients with cardiovascular disease. For this edition, we have reorganized the book's layout and added sections devoted to cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular disease, venous thromboembolic disease, and the heart in specific populations and conditions. We have added new chapters on hypercoagulable states, specific valvular lesions, sleep apnea and the heart, heart disease in women, cardio-onc...

The book Cardiac Intensive Care is written by David A. Morrow. The first edition of Cardiac Intensive Care was published in 1998 and the second in 2010. New editions of the textbooks attempt to keep pace with rapidly changing patient demographics, a new understanding of pathophysiology, and advances in treatment. Textbook formats evolve as technology improves and our understanding of how and where students actually learn grows. The third edition of Cardiac Intensive Care is no exception. Since all patient care begins with an ethical foundation and the ability to perform an accurate history and physical examination, these issues are addressed early in the book. I continue to believe that a solid foundation in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease is mandatory to make accurate diagn...

The book Acute & Critical Care Nurse Practitioner: Cases In Diagnostic Reasoning is written by Suzanne Burns, Sarah Delgado. This book on diagnostic reasoning is for faculty teaching in ACNP programs, ACNP students, ACNP graduates taking ACNP certification exams, and ACNP practitioners who want to test and expand their diagnostic skills. The book is sponsored by AACN and covers general topics on the AACN ACNP certification exam.When we were teaching critical care nursing students at the University of Virginia, we found that teaching diagnostic reasoning was best accomplished by using a case-based approach that guided students to think systematically to rule out specific diagnoses in their differential diagnosis. . The approach is reminiscent of Eliza Doolittle's request to Henry Higgin...

The bookcase file cardiology is written by Eugene Toy and Michael Faulx. Mastering cognitive knowledge within a field like cardiology is a formidable task. It is even more difficult to take advantage of that knowledge, to obtain and filter the clinical and laboratory data, to develop a differential diagnosis, and, finally, to make a rational treatment plan. To acquire these skills, the student learns best at the bedside, guided and instructed by experienced teachers and inspired toward self-directed and diligent reading. Clearly, there is no replacement for bedside education. Unfortunately, clinical situations seldom span the breadth of the specialty. Perhaps the best alternative is a carefully designed patient case to stimulate the clinical approach and decision-making process. In an atte...

We have written it, especially for medical students, interns, and nurses. It does not imply prior instruction in electrocardiogram reading.

"Front-line" clinicians, including hospitalists, emergency medicine physicians, cardiology instructors, and trainees who want to brush up on ECG basics, have also found previous editions useful. Our "target" reader is the doctor who has to look at ECGs without immediate specialist support and make critical decisions, sometimes at 3 am! This new eighth edition, more compact, is divided into three sections....
