| Publisher Description: Nurse's Fast Facts is a compilation of all of those hard-to-remember procedures, calculations, lab values, and interactions in a lightweight, easy-to-carry package. This essential handbook offers the most important but difficult to remember clinical information for nine nursing content areas as well as age-specific guidelines for assessing health problems and interpreting lab values. Reference tabs provide speedy access to information by specialty, and the many charts, graphs, illustrations, and a new two-color design make locating facts even easier Topics include: Medical-Surgical Gerontological Care Maternal-Infant Pediatric Mental Health Emergency and Critical Care Long-Term Care Home Health Care Nutrition We have used 'Fast Facts' for two years and are extremely pleased with it. Our students carry it in their pockets from freshmen through senior level and find it very useful. -- Pamela Cone, RN, MSN, CNS, Azusa Pacific University School of Nursing, Azusa, California Fast Facts is just that, an easy to use reference for clinical decisions and behaviors. This book is written for students and practitioners at several levels of expertise. Most attractive features of the book are the attention to all the likely elements of nursing practice in institutions, with some also relevant to community nursing. I am a chart/table type of reference seeker and this book has many well ordered fact arrangements to keep me content. Faith H.
