Nurses are currently obtaining information on disorders of the blood from medical-surgical nursing textbooks or from brief sections in oncology references. This book should be useful for medical-surgical and oncology nurses who often see patients with blood disorders and critical care nurses who care for patiets with such blood disorders as haemophilia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, post haemorrhageic anaemia and sickle cell crisis. This illustrated book gives detailed explanations of commonly-used nursing diagnoses. It includes patient teaching guides which can be given to patients to inform them and to help ensure compliance with self-care regimes.
