Each chapter follows the same structure for each body system: a simple diagram of the main anatomy, the main elements of physiology, a selection of the most common and serious conditions, key facts about the diseases signs and symptoms or what to look out for Medical management, and explains what the doctors are doing.The pharmacology focus summarises the main medications in use. Nursing care priorities outline the important elements of care, and ten top tips list the things you should never forget in caring for patients with the conditions described in each chapter. The book is cross-referenced throughout to the relevant sections in Watson's enabling more detailed follow-up study of patients and nursing care when you are off duty.
