Description
From "abdominal distensions" to "wheezing," this nursing reference provides an alphabetical guide to some 200 commonly encountered symptoms. The "2-in-1" phrase of the title refers to the fact that broad consult information and "key facts" are presented in outer columns of the text, while more detailed information on symptom history, medical and other causes, special considerations, and the like is presented in inside columns.

This unique 2-in-1 reference presents vital information on signs and symptoms in two practical, helpful ways on every page. The wide inner column of each page contains detailed narrative text on the sign or symptom, emergency interventions, history, physical assessment, medical and other causes, patient counseling, and pediatric and geriatric pointers. The narrow outer column contains brief bulleted summaries of the same information. This page layout enables nurses to quickly scan the bulleted points in the outer column and jump to detailed information as needed without turning the page. Coverage includes over 200 signs and symptoms, arranged in alphabetical order.
