Editorial Reviews for Review of Hemodialysis for Nurses and Dialysis Personnel (Review of Hemodialysis for Nurses & Dialysis Personnel)
|
Using a practical, straight-forward introduction to dialysis, this text is a must-have reference for health care workers caring for hemodialysis patients. Assuming no prior knowledge of patient care, nursing procedures, or dialysis principles, it takes an interdisciplinary approach to provide an overview of dialysis technology and the relationship of dialysis to nursing, nutrition, medicine, and psychosocial aspects of treatment. Each chapter is presented in a logical question-and-answer format that promotes critical thinking and engages the reader. Lifespan content, home dialysis considerations, and quick reference material enhance the text's comprehensive approach to care. Its up-to-date material and comprehensiveness also make it an excellent resource for dialysis technicians preparing for a certification examination.
- Features a question-and-answer format that streamlines the learning process and engages the reader.
- Offers comprehensive coverage including a review of fluids and electrolytes through transplantation, infection control and the important psychosocial aspects of dialysis treatment.
- Introduces new terms and concepts using simplified language style to assist the patient, novice health care worker, and technician with the learning process.
- Offers definitions of new terms and clear explanations of concepts along with the "how and why" of principles and effects to facilitate learning and foster critical thinking.
- Covers the lifespan with separate chapters on pediatric hemodialysis and end-stage renal disease in the elderly.
- Includes home dialysis therapies to provide instruction on this important aspect of care.
- Focuses on the roles of the multidisciplinary dialysis team, including the patient and the patient's family, to provide a comprehensive approach to dialysis and the related patient care.

- Includes useful quick reference content - including nephrology organizations and resources, conversion table, and a glossary.

Summary: Great Study Guide for Certification
Comment: I used this book at a study guide for the nursing certification test in 2000. I passed with flying colors. It is comprhensive and to the point. There wasn't a subject in the test that was not covered in this book as well. This book is a much easier read than the ANNA curriculum. If you are looking to study for the CNN or CDN then look no further.

Summary: Review of Hemodialysis for Nurses and Dialysis Personnel
Comment: This book is very informative not only for experienced Dialysis professionals but also for those who are new to this sub-specialty. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs a book that is very readable and covers the topics necessary without using terminology that is too technical and complicated to understand.
