Description
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.
