Abstract:
Fluids and Electrolytes: A 2-in-1 Reference for Nurses offers both a serious reference book to read and a collection of logically organized bullet points for a quick review. The wide inner column of each page contains narrative text so nurses can, for instance, carefully read about the pathophysiology underlying an imbalance or the signs associated with the imbalance. The narrow outer column lists the corresponding summaries, better to rapidly review the key pathophysiologic events or key signs and symptoms. Full-color inserts enhance the content by bringing to life trademark ECG findings associated with two critical electrolytes, potassium and calcium, and their impact on myocardial function.
