Summary:

COPING WITH MULTISYMPTOM COMPLICATIONS provides detailed explanations of how combinations of major disorders interact and thereby affect one another when they occur in the same patient. Discussions for each disorder cover anatomy and physiology, causes, expected assessment findings, diagnostic test results, nursing and medical interventions, and patient teaching. Understandable explanations of underlying pathophysiology and specific nursing care are provided for each combination of disorders. Most important, the book spells out what to do when a patient with multisymptom disorders develops complications particularly, life-threatening complications.
