Gastrointestinal Nursing is an authoritative exploration of common diseases of the GI tract, offering evidence-based insights into the complexities of digestive health and unraveling the intricate functions of digestion, secretion, and elimination. Each chapter provides in-depth coverage of a specific organ, detailing common diseases and conditions, and offering comprehensive explanations of aetiology, pathogenesis, presentation, diagnosis, investigations, surgical and pharmacological management, and outcomes.
Gastrointestinal Nursing includes information on:
Motility disorders of the esophagus including webs and pouches, achalasia, and esophageal dysmotility
Benign conditions of the stomach including Helicobacter pylori, gastritis, gastric ulcers, vascular conditions, and gastroparesis
Tumours of the duodenum including adenocarcinoma, lymphomas, leiomyosarcomas, carcinoid tumors, and stromal tumors
Principles of endoscopy, endoscopy investigations, and emergency and therapeutic endoscopy
Sustainable gastroenterology, encompassing practices in endoscopy, hepatology, and gastroenterology, as well as sustainable approaches in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and drug treatments
Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a student embarking on your nursing journey, Gastrointestinal Nursing is your go-to resource for mastering the intricacies of care and management of digestive disorders. It is an essential read for nurses in gastroenterology, digestive health, and related specialties.
