Real World Nursing Survival Guide: Complementary and Alternative Therapies

this book came quickly & was in great shape.

Kathleen Wren and Carol Norred have produced a lovely, clear, easy to use survey of a helpful range of CAM therapies. It is organized by pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies, with concise explanations of the modality, indications, side effects, precautions, indications, contraindications, and key words to remember. Winsome and humorous cartoon figures counterpoint the reading. A review section presents a playful series of crossword puzzles and other word exercises that will help readers assess and firm up their knowledge about each therapy. This is an excellent book for anyone wanting an introduction to CAM. Ample references for further reading provide doorways for delving deeper.
