Description

Patient Care in Radiography helps you acquire and refine both the technical and interpersonal skills you need to provide quality patient care in the clinical environment. Because patient care is involved in virtually every aspect of imaging, high-quality patient care is just as important as your competent performance of procedures. In Patient Care in Radiography, patient care is integrated with procedural skills throughout the text, ensuring that you know how to provide the best care for every patient you encounter. Skills that are imperative for quality patient care in radiography, such as safety, transfer, and positioning; infection control; and patient assessment are emphasized. You'll find full coverage of introductory topics, as well as key information on microbiology, emerging diseases, transcultural communication, ECGs, administration of medications, and bedside radiography.
