Publisher's Synopsis
This book initially takes a systems approach to cover the most frequently presenting types of problems that the nurse practitioner will encounter but the scope of the book then widens to include psychological and emotional problems as well as the special needs of those patients with long-term chronic health problems. A hands-on, clinical text, the book has been derived from the editors' experience as a course team running the Royal College of Nursing Institute BSc Nurse Practitioner Course in Lancaster and Carlisle. It is an essential purchase for all Nurse Practitioners.
