Description

This textbook, endorsed by EDTNA/ERCA and ESNO, provides unique evidence-based knowledge about nursing in renal care and harmonises specialised understandings from various countries, to be implemented across numerous national health systems. Renal care nursing is essential in order to promote and prevent renal health as well as detect and contribute to the care of renal disease.

These complex tasks require specialised knowledge and training to ensure patient safety and positive outcomes in patient care.

This book describes in detail the highest quality practices in different stages of the disease.

Twenty-three chapters reflect evidence-based or consensus in practise, covering management and treatment in patient centred care procedures.

Combining expert knowledge from many countries, this textbook can be used for teaching new staff in renal care as well as reviewing and updating renal care expertise. Technological developments have significantly expanded in recent years.

In this context renal nurses are responsible not only for individualised, comprehensive, and complex patient care, but also advanced technical skills such as haemodialysis treatment, which require close monitoring of patients to ensure safety.

Infection prevention and control is vital throughout patient care.

In addition, advanced renal nursing skills have been established for the assessment and management of renal disease.  The textbook is unique as in one single volume there is evidence, up to date and rigorous data describing different types of renal care therefore it is possible to concept a holistic vision of CKD patients as well as the nursing perspective.
