Description
About the Book
"The purpose of this book is to help clinicians and students better understand how to diagnose and manage typical (and some atypical) patient cases. While the focus is on the Nurse Practitioner role, this book will be useful to other patient care providers, such as physicians and physician's assistants. The contributing authors have worked hard to update cases from the first edition of the book to better reflect patient-centered language and advances in care. We have developed several new cases, such as one on climate change, to assist clinicians with scenarios that were not as predominant as they are today. We have presented a variety of patients in these cases with regard to age, gender preference, socioeconomic status, family status and other considerations. However, please don't hesitate to alter these demographics to tailor the cases for your specific needs"--Book Synopsis

From neonatal to geriatric, all the cases demonstrate real-life scenarios and present appropriate solutions on a case-by-case basis to reflect the nuance required in practice.
