Primary Care : A Collaborative Practice

PRIMARY CARE: A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH is a unique, comprehensive primary care reference that provides the concise, yet thorough information that primary care providers need in today's fast-paced, collaborative environment.

This book is the first of its kind because it is truly collaborative and vastly geographical, having been written by NPs, MDs, PAs, respiratory technicians, and nurses from all over the country.

In the past, nurse practitioners have had to settle for reference books written solely by MDs, but PRIMARY CARE: A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH provides NPs with a reference book written for NPs and edited by NPs.

This book is based on a body systems framework and covers a multitude of adult disorders and related issues, some of which are not found in other primary care textbooks, including barotrauma, rehabilitation, and domestic violence.

The disorders are arranged alphabetically for easy referencing.

Each disorder is discussed from a primary care perspective, with the information and approach necessary to care for adult patients in a caring, cost-effective manner.
