Case Studies in Oncology Nursing: Text and Review: Text and Review

Case Studies in Oncology Nursing: Text and Review consists of 23 case studies with learning objectives and references. This text promotes critical thinking by allowing students and practicing nurses to apply concepts to the interactive case studies. Oncology is rapidly changing due to advances in chemotherapy, biotherapy, hormonal therapy, genetics, and supportive care. This is an excellent introductory text for nursing students and will assist the oncology nurse generalist in keeping current with changes and updates. In addition, this resource covers many items listed in the OCN Test Blueprint and serves as a great way for oncology nurses to prepare for the OCN exam. This book is appropriate for use in undergraduate medical-surgical courses at the junior or senior level and master's programs in Oncology Nursing. This book is not intended to be a stand-alone course textbook; it should be used in conjunction with a main textbook to reinforce the material learned in class by applying it to case studies.
