Nursing Concepts: Oxygenation is a book for nursing professionals and students. Inside you will find information that combines anatomy and physiology with interventions to provide a useful approach to a specific nursing concept. Beginning with a review of anatomy and progressing through specific disorders, this text applies nursing knowledge to actual nursing and medical diagnoses in adult patients. Since many disorders of oxygenation are treated in a collaborative manner, both medical and nursing interventions are included in each chapter. Actual case studies are provided to help apply the facts and concepts reviewed in each chapter, and thought-provoking questions reinforce learning. Diagrams and tables assist the reader to visualize the information presented. The entire concept of oxygenation from the respiratory and circulatory systems to the role of the hematological system is reviewed because of the variety of ways that disorders can affect the individual patient. With numerous case studies, review questions, diagrams, and tables that provide a complete and comprehensive review, Nursing Concepts: Oxygenation is a valuable addition to the bookshelves of all nursing professionals and students.
