"Clinically Oriented Anatomy is widely acclaimed for its comprehensive and well-written, "story-telling" text, accurate and detailed illustrations, and the relevance of its clinical correlations ("blue boxes"). The textbook serves as a complete reference and places clinical emphasis on anatomy that is important in physical diagnosis for primary care, interpretation of diagnostic imaging, and understanding the anatomical basis of emergency medicine and general surgery. This textbook is popular in a variety of programs, including medical, physician assistant, physical therapy, occupational therapy, graduate biology/anatomy, and exercise science"-- Provided by publisher.

"The Fifth edition is based on the idea that the ability to read, critique, and participate in nursing research is essential to create and use evidence for nursing practice. The book is aimed specifically at undergraduate nursing students, nurses returning to school, and practicing nurses that must apply evidence to practice at the bedside. All nurses need to be able to critically read research, determine how to use it in their practice, and participate in the research process in some way during their career. This text is intended to support all these efforts. A strength of this text is that it helps the reader gain a fundamental understanding of all types of research that may be used for evidence"-- Provided by publisher

Pediatric arrhythmias present numerous challenges to pediatric cardiologists and other practitioners who see pediatric patients, including pediatricians, family physicians, emergency physicians, residents, fellows, and other clinicians. Arrhythmias in Children: A Case-Based Approach features practical methods for diagnosing and treating arrhythmias in these patients across all settings. Nearly three dozen real-world scenarios are presented, followed by a discussion of the diagnosis, clinical thinking process involved, treatment options, expected outcomes, and how to manage anticipated and unanticipated outcomes. These practical, realistic cases provide a unique and engaging way of approaching these challenging patient scenarios. Uses a case-based approach for a full spectrum of pediatric arrythmias in the newborn, child, pre-teen, and teenager. Presents history and physical, differential diagnoses, tests to order, and practical plans of action. Includes a section on arrythmias in special circumstances. Models clinical thinking skills for a wide number of real-world patient situations. Reviews pertinent clinical guidelines, treatment, and follow up.
