Gale Encyclopedia of Nursing and Allied Health

Gale Encyclopedia of Nursing and Allied Health


Anyone with an interest in nursing and health will be pleased with this new edition. It will be especially helpful for students who are interested in becoming biomedical equipment technologists, dental hygienists (one of those professions indicated to be growing in the future), dieticians, health care administrators, medical technologists, clinical laboratory scientists, registered and licensed practical nurses, nurse anesthetists, nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, occupational therapists, optometrists, pharmacy technicians, physical therapists, radiological technologists, and speech language therapists. Each volume begins with the same list of entries and an introduction to the set. Individual entries follow a rubric for each of the following types: diseases/disorders, tests/procedures, equipment/tools, human biology/body systems, nursing and allied health professions, and current health issues although all have a definition and a description, resources and key terms. Bold-faced terms in the signed articles indicate a related article elsewhere. Cross-references help direct readers from alternate names and related topics to entries. Beige-colored inset boxes offer key terms while blue inset boxes have drug information. Articles have lists of resources including books, periodicals, and organizations. Many articles have color illustrations and sketches. Your health teachers will welcome this as an inviting resource for students to use for introductory research.
