NURSING THEORISTS AND THEIR WORK, EIGHTH EDITION pdf ebook

Image
BASIC PROCESSES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NURSING THEORIES Nursing theories are often based on and influenced by broadly applicable processes and theories. Following theories are basic to many nursing concepts. A. General System Theory: It describes how to break whole things into parts and then to learn how the parts work together in " systems". These concepts may be applied to different kinds of systems, e.g.. Molecules in chemistry , cultures in sociology, organs in Anatomy and health in Nursing. B. Adaptation Theory It defines adaptation as the adjustment of living matter to other living things and to environmental conditions. Adaptation is a continuously occurring process that effects change and involves interaction and response.

Stem Cells for Dummies ebook pdf

Image
The term stem cell has made its way into general usage only in the past decade or so, and, to many people, stem cell research is a new, untested, and even frightening endeavor. In truth, though, everything researchers know today about stem cells — and stem cells’ potential for medical therapies — is built on centuries of observations and discoveries about biology in a broad array of organisms. Even the ancients knew that certain animals could grow new limbs, for example. History is replete with stories (many undocumented) of transplants and other medical miracles dating from a time when the biological “cell” wasn’t even a concept, much less part of anyone’s vocabulary. In this chapter, we recap three separate but intertwined histories of research into how living things work. One is the history of ideas about regeneration, the ability to regrow body parts that are damaged through injury or disease. Another is the history of discovering how certain traits are passed from one generati

Nursing Care of The Pediatric Neurosurgery Patient

Image
Nursing care of the pediatric neurosurgery patient and family can be extremely challenging and extraordinarily rewarding. Cathy Cartwright and Donna Wallace have edited a wonderful clinical resource to assist nurses in meeting the challenges. More than 32 contributors from 15 medical centers have shared their expertise in 12 chapters that delineate the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management of the most common neurosurgical problems. The text, tables, illustrations, photographs, radiographs, scans, “pediatric pearls,” and “parent perspectives” combine to clearly present the essential information about each problem. The more complex the illness or injury, the greater the potential contribution of the skilled and empathetic nurse to patient and family recovery. To paraphrase a parent quoted in this book, each child with a neurosurgical problem will have a unique life story. Although the child’s life story will be affected by the neurosurgical proble

Advanced Clinical Skills for GU Nurses

Poor sexual health is now a major public health issue in the UK, with all four countries having a sexual health strategy, strategic framework or action plan in place. The Government in England wishes to improve sexual health services, with a focus on improving access. All over the country nurses are working in new and innovative ways in sexual and reproductive health. Many are working in advanced and specialist clinical roles as independent practitioners and more creative posts are being developed in the National Health Service to maximise optimum use of nurses’ skills. Several Nurse Consultant posts have now been developed in the speciality of Genito Urinary Medicine (GUM). With this important public health agenda in mind, this book provides a valuable resource for nurses working towards, and at, advanced level in GUM, but the content is also transferable and relevant to nurses working in non-acute settings. This book also provides a skill base for more junior nurses in
