註釋This comprehensive text provides practical access to the physical, sociocultural, and physiological aspects of orthopedic nursing care, emphasizing up-to-date care for patients of all ages. It recognizes the interrelated care given by different health care team members as well as the transitional settings in which health care is delivered. In-depth pathophysiology and management modalities bring a practice-oriented perspective to the material covered. The first section of the book presents the fundamental knowledge essential to caring for orthopedic patients with various diagnoses. The second section examines specific orthopedic disorders categorized by physiologic processes. Throughout, new content has been added on evidence based practice and outpatient care. Two new chapters cover genetics and wellness, and a new appendix addresses computer use for patient and staff education. In addition, Internet resources are included at the end of each chapter.
