Description

REHABILITATION NURSING: PROCESS, APPLICATION, AND OUTCOMES equips the reader with a solid foundation in the concepts and principles of rehabilitation nursing, while maintaining the fundamental focus of rehabilitation nursing - holistic care of the client. This third edition builds on rehabilitation nursing knowledge from concepts to implementation, enabling the reader to apply theory to practice. Separate sections cover concepts, foundations, and management principles essential for client-centered rehabilitation programs, as well as topics such as improving client outcomes in clinical applications, rehabilitation nursing across functional health patterns, and special client populations. A chapter on immune and regulatory systems focuses on the client with HIV. Throughout the text, the holistic health pattern approach to rehabilitation nursing is integrated in critical thinking exercises and client case studies at the end of each chapter.

  • Addresses rehabilitation applications according to Functional Health Patterns within body and psychosocial systems to allow for a holistic approach to the whole client, rather than focusing on a specific chronic, disabling, or developmental condition
  • Presents rehabilitation nursing care within the Nursing Process framework, including the latest 2001-2002 NANDA Nursing Diagnoses, to create a standardized approach to client care
  • Integrates lifespan and cultural considerations throughout the chapters to assist rehabilitation nurses with diverse client populations
  • Provides rehabilitation case studies to highlight nursing care of clients with specific medical diagnoses related to the functional health pattern discussed in each chapter
  • Addresses special client populations, such as pediatrics, geriatrics, burn reconstruction, and cardiac rehabilitation to allow for focused rehabilitation nursing care
  • Provides a comprehensive Neurophysiology chapter (Ch. 15) to highlight relevant neurological anatomy and pathophysiology commonly seen in rehabilitation nursing
  • Separates Musculoskeletal and Neuromuscular function into two separate chapters (Chs. 21 and 22) to allow in-depth coverage of rehabilitation interventions
  • Includes two new special client population chapters on Renal Rehabilitation (Ch. 34) and Cancer Rehabilitation and Restoration (Ch. 35) to highlight nursing advances in these two rehab specialties
  • Explores cultural and alternative approaches to rehabilitation therapy in a new chapter on Culture and Medical Systems: Conventional, Alternative, and Complementary Health Patterns (Ch. 13)
  • Utilizes Critical Thinking Exercises at the end of each chapter to challenge the user to apply rehabilitation nursing concepts to clinical practice
  • Includes NIC and NOC classification labels within the nursing process to promote standardized language in rehabilitation nursing
  • Introduces the chapter topic with a personal or professional vignette to highlight the uniqueness of rehabilitation nursing and allow the reader to benefit from the experiences of rehabilitation nurses in practice
