Product Description
This practical, straightforward introduction to dialysis takes an interdisciplinary approach, providing an overview of dialysis technology and the relationship of dialysis to nursing, nutrition, and medicine. Using its hallmark question-and-answer format, the content starts with the basics, including a review of fluids and electrolytes and the renal system, and prepares the reader for more advanced discussions as they are introduced. And with its lifespan coverage and useful quick reference content, it s no wonder it s considered the premier resource for educating health professionals on the essentials of dialysis and the related patient care. * Focuses on the roles of the multidisciplinary dialysis team, including the patient and the patient s family, to provide a comprehensive approach to dialysis and the related patient care * Features a question-and-answer format that streamlines the learning process and engages the reader * Offers comprehensive coverage including a review of fluids and electrolytes through transplantation, infection control, and the important psychosocial aspects of dialysis treatment * Covers the lifespan with separate chapters on pediatric hemodialysis and end stage renal disease in the elderly * Includes a chapter on home dialysis therapies to provide instruction on this important aspect of care * Provides definitions of new terms and clear explanations of concepts along with the "how and why" of principles and effects to facilitate learning and foster critical thinking

This is a good book as a review for nurses already in hemodialysis and an informative book for new dialysis nurses.

I have a Masters of Science in Nursing. This was the best written, easiest to read book I have read in a while. Question and answer format. Worth the money.

Great Study Guide for Certification April 5, 2007
Always Reading (East Texas)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I used this book at a study guide for the nursing certification test in 2000. I passed with flying colors. It is comprhensive and to the point. There wasn't a subject in the test that was not covered in this book as well. This book is a much easier read than the ANNA curriculum. If you are looking to study for the CNN or CDN then look no further.
Review of Hemodialysis for Nurses and Dialysis Personnel March 22, 2007
Diana K. Gerving (St. Joseph, MO)
This book is very informative not only for experienced Dialysis professionals but also for those who are new to this sub-specialty. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs a book that is very readable and covers the topics necessary without using terminology that is too technical and complicated to understand.
