Soort boek
Hardcover

Within the specialties Obstetrics & Gynaecology, reproductive medicine is a rapidly growing (sub)specialty. As a result of social trends and the expansion of treatment possibilities, the demand for health care within reproductive medicine is not just changing in a quantitative, but in a qualitative sense as well. In addition, tasks are increasingly being shared between physicians, nurses and laboratory technicians. This requires specific knowledge and competences.<br /><br />Reproductive Medicine provides this knowledge in the context of Obstetrics, Gynaecology, Neonatology and Reproductive medicine. <br /><br />The different subjects in this textbook are covered in an integrated fashion, wherever possible. The (patho-)physiology, necessary medical background and specific nursing and laboratory aspects are therefore discussed interconnectedly. In every chapter the authors have - wherever possible - drawn upon the disturbance of specific vital functions in relation to health problems.<br /><br />The information provided in this textbook helps O&G nurses and laboratory technicians to analyse health problems correctly. The relation between observation and (pre)diagnosis is explained; making it possible for appropriate decisions to be made on the basis of specific nursing and laboratory diagnoses, interventions and evaluations.<br /><br />Reproductive Medicine contributes to the quality of the advanced educational program for O&G Nursing and laboratory technicians and provides a reference work for nurses working in this field. The design and depth of the text also make this book useful on the level of (postgraduate) nursing education.
