Review
"The purpose is to provide an in-depth, multidimensional, systems approach to the complex care of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. As an individual who has secondary progressive MS (20 years), I found this book to be one of the most comprehensive sources of information for healthcare professionals, not just nurses. It not only serves as a guide for the care of the individual with MS, but its organization and layout could serve as a pattern for other books on chronic conditions." -- Sheila T. Fitzgerald, BSN, MSN, PhD, Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health "Advanced Concepts In Multiple Sclerosis Nursing is a collaborative effort of MS nurse experts from several countries. It is representative of the current trend of MS nursing, which is becoming more advanced, specialized and complex. It also reflects the emerging role of MS nurses who are influencing care internationally. It is a valuable resource for nurses working in a variety of health care settings all over the world. Once again June Halper has master minded a valuable addition to the growing collection of MS nursing literature." -- Organization of MS Nurses (IOMSN)
Product Description
The nurse plays a vital role as an educator, care provider, and advocate for patients and families affected by multiple sclerosis. Advanced Concepts in Multiple Sclerosis Nursing Care is the companion book to an earlier work, Comprehensive Nursing Care in Multiple Sclerosis. This current book examines complex issues in MS management and reflects a new philosophy of MS care, one of empowerment. The focus is on the numerous practice settings in which MS nurses practice as well as their many roles and responsibilities in managing this highly variable and difficult disease. This text will provide the reader with an updated view of MS along with a greater understanding of its lifelong impact. The book is divided into sections dealing with the disease itself, advanced practice requirements for nurses, advanced symptom management, and The Canadian Multiple Sclerosis Nursing Care Plan, a ready reference to disease management issues and strategies that will assist professionals in clinic, hospital, and community setting. Contributors to Advanced Concepts in Multiple Sclerosis Nursing Care are nurse clinicians and researchers who work in geographically diverse practice settings throughout North America and Europe. The book will provide nurses with tools and strategies to improve the lives affected by multiple sclerosis and to reinforce the role of the nurse in this challenging neurologic illness.
