Contemporary Nephrology Nursing has been written for a broad-based audience of nurses involved in the care of renal patients such as nephrology nurses, multi-organ transplant nurses, medical-surgical nurses, primary care nurses, and nursing students. The information in this book will assist the professional nurse in delivering care to renal patients and preparing for certification examinations, in particular the examination offered by the Nephrology Nursing Certification Board (NNCB). The point of view is based in the United States, but an international perspective is also reviewed since the prevention and treatment of chronic renal failure is exercised throughout the world.
