| Summary |
"Throughout the book, the expert contributors have sought to base their chapters on evidence. The chapters are organised into three sections. The first section provides a valuable context for understanding the material in the following sections. Section 2 is the largest in the book and concentrates on particular client difficulties. It is in this section where the main body of evidence to base our care is available. The last section illustrates three key areas where nurses and other practitioners have worked together both with each other and with clients to introduce new approaches to care."--BOOK JACKET |
