Product Description This practical, straightforward introduction to dialysis takes an interdisciplinary approach, providing an overview of dialysis technology and the relationship of dialysis to nursing, nutrition, and medicine. Using its hallmark question-and-answer format, the content starts with the basics, including a review of fluids and electrolytes and the renal system, and prepares the reader for more advanced discussions as they are introduced. And with its lifespan coverage and useful quick reference content, it’s no wonder it’s considered the premier resource for educating health professionals on the essentials of dialysis and the related patient care. * Focuses on the roles of the multidisciplinary dialysis team, including the patient and the patient’s family, to provide a comprehensive approach to dialysis and the related patient care * Features a question-and-answer format that streamlines the learning process and engages the reader * Offers comprehensive coverage including a review of fluids and electrolytes through transplantation, infection control, and the important psychosocial aspects of dialysis treatment * Covers the lifespan with separate chapters on pediatric hemodialysis and end stage renal disease in the elderly * Includes a chapter on home dialysis therapies to provide instruction on this important aspect of care * Provides definitions of new terms and clear explanations of concepts along with the "how and why" of principles and effects to facilitate learning and foster critical thinking | ||
