Synopsis

Real World Nursing Survival Guide: Complementary and Alternative Therapies is a study and review aid for nursing students who are struggling with this challenging and relatively uncharted subject area. This book offers a visual, interactive approach that clearly and engagingly explains how to integrate complementary and alternative therapies into more conventional nursing care. This REAL WORLD GUIDE consists of four parts. Part One: Pharmacologic Therapies discusses 30 commonly-used herbal products and dietary supplements, covering Actions, Dose, Side Effects, Indications and Uses, Contraindications and Precautions, Patient History, Potential Drug Interactions, and Patient Education. Part Two: Non-Pharmacologic Therapies discusses 25 alternative therapies, covering Benefits and Uses, Risks and Precautions, Patient Education, and Practitioners. Part Three: Helpful Cross-References includes an alphabetical index of conditions and uses for which the therapies are effective, as well as an index of side effects of the various therapies. Part Four contains a variety of Learning Activities with answers. The questions are referenced by section to give students an opportunity to test their knowledge and review topics that they still find difficult. Narrows the gap between the facts learned in school and the wisdom that nurses need to survive in the real world. Features original cartoon illustrations and a theme cat cartoon character that walks the student through difficult subjects with a light-hearted, engaging approach to learning. Helps the nursing student integrate complementary and alternative therapies into more conventional health care approaches taught in medical-surgical, pharmacology, and other clinical courses. Presents material in a clear and entertaining way by using adult learning principles and various active-learning strategies to engage nursing students of all ages, backgrounds, and learning styles. Divides information into manageable units and reinforces the learning process. Helps the student quickly identify special content in the chapter with icons for cautions, lifespan considerations, cultural implications, and related websites. Emphasizes essential terminology by bolding Key Words in the narrative and defining them in the margin. Promotes learning with a variety of interactive activities including fill-in the blank, NCLEX®-style review questions, matching, word jumbles, word search, and crossword puzzles. Offers succinct points of advice that students can use to prepare for their clinical rotation.
