The Complete Nurse's Guide to Diabetes Care by Belinda P Childs
This new book from the ADA is among the first of its kind. Covering the complete diabetes care continuum, it was created for nurses in a variety of health care settings - hospitals, clinics, home health care settings, physicians' offices, and nursing schools. Nursing Care for Diabetes Mellitus is packed with valuable information such as guidelines for the lifelong management of both acute and chronic complications associated with diabetes. Among the topics covered are epidemiology, education, the impact of diabetes on the family, risk factors for diabetes, prediabetes, classification and diagnosis of type 1, 1.5, 2, and gestational diabetes, and management of a wide range of complications. Special populations such as women, children, the elderly, and hospitalized patients with diabetes are also addressed along with Standards of Care. Nurses are presented with a lifelong management plan which includes therapeutic lifestyle changes such as nutrition and exercise, insulin pump therapy along with the benefits and risks, management of the different types of diabetes and their treatments, self-management, and much more.| SKU | Unavailable |
