Complementary/Alternative Therapies in Nursing [Hardcover - Used]

CONDITION - USED - Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels or previous owner inscriptions. Accessories such as CD, codes, toys, may not be included. This book offers a systematic approach to a wide range of alternative/complementary therapies that can be used by nurses independently. Each chapter describes a different therapy and follows a standard format: definition, review of current research, description of uses and techniques, precautions, and a list of questions for further research. Many of these therapies such as massage and application of heat and cold have traditionally been part of nursing practice; while others such as imagery, meditation, and biofeedback are interventions that nurses can use to enrich their practice.
