- Summary:
- Written by a team of surgeons, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, Clinician's Guide to Surgical Care features a problem-based approach to reviewing the most commonly encountered patient complaints requiring surgical treatment.
- Specifically developed for advanced-practice clinicians, this handbook provides clear and up-to-date information on how to solve clinical problems seen in patients with surgical disease.
- Rather than merely providing information on each disease, the guide emphasizes critical thinking and clinical decision making throughout. Summaries of more than 55 surgical procedures, supplemented by 150+ corresponding illustrations and photographs, give you a solid understanding of the anatomic changes and physiologic consequences that occur during major operations.
