Oncology Nursing Clinical Reference is designed to keep pace with the many demands and challenges placed upon the oncology and medical-surgical nurse. It contains the must-know information in a quick access format.
To facilitate ease of use, the headings are in outline format with narrative text following. Topics are listed at the beginning of each chapter with corresponding book pages numbers.
The organization of the book is based around a symptom-management approach to oncology nurses. A chapter on pediatric cancers is included because adolescent patients are sometimes seen in adult care areas.
