Abstract:
Here is the guidance the generalist nurse needs to care for adults with cancer. This handbook is a complete resource for non-oncology nurses. Readable, thorough, and well-organized, the text's comprehensive approach follows the continuum of care from diagnosis to hospice when warranted. The text's user-friendly format presents a concise and appropriate sequence of topics, including the most timely issues -- such as cultural implications -- and lists resources for patients, families and professionals. Special features include decision-making algorithms, patient education tools, and quality improvement indicators. Nurses working on general medical or surgical floors, and in outpatient, home, and long term care settings will appreciate the wealth of information provided in this helpful guide.
