内容简介

Care of the Adult with a Chronic Illness or Disability equips nurses working in a variety of community care settings with the tools and knowledge needed for caring for the adult patient living with a chronic or disabling condition. Nursing care is addressed within the interdisciplinary team approach necessary for handling complex chronic conditions and the attendant physical and psychosocial issues. In addition to interdisciplinary treatment of the immediate condition, interventions that help the patient reach rehabilitation goals in functional and lifestyle independence are also covered as are family and caregiver concerns, ethical considerations, and end-of-life issues.
