Infusion Therapy in Clinical Practice is the second edition of Intravenous Therapy: Clinical Principles and Practice . The title has been changed to reflect the broadening scope of practice for the intravenous nurse including intrathecal, intraosseous, and epidural procedures, as well as subcutaneous pain management, conscious sedation, and the use of catheters not being inserted intravenously. Infusion Therapy in Clinical Practice is a reference text that comprehensively addresses every aspect of infusion therapy. The content is applicable to all settings where infusion therapy is practiced. All nine core areas of infusion/intravenous nursing as defined by the INS Certification Corporation are covered in this text: technical and clinical, fluid and electrolytes, pharmacology, infection control, transfusion therapy, oncology, pediatrics, total parenteral nutrition, and quality assurance. In addition, management, research, education, and risk management are also covered as they relate to infusion therapy. Although all of the chapters have been organized systematically, beginning with introductory material before moving into physiological considerations and intravenous agents, each chapter has been written to stand alone, so that an experienced practitioner may simply refer to individual chapters for a succinct reference. Author is the Intravenous Nurses Society, a highly-respected nursing organization that is the authority in the field. All four chief editors are experienced intravenous nurses, some in both research and clinical practice. Over 30 expert contributors have participated in this text, ensuring that content is current, accurate, and pertinent to todays infusion therapist. Chapter 19, Intravenous Therapy Calculations covers formulas, their uses, and sample calculations, addressing all the basics a novice practitioner needs, and providing a comprehensive refresher for the experienced practitioner. An entire unit in the book explores the unique challenges presented by infusion therapy in alternative settings, including home care. Extensive coverage of specialties like oncology, pain management, blood components, and parenteral nutrition make this text a great resource for the practicing nurse who needs detailed information on these important topics. Extensive coverage of pharmacologic and other agents provide valuable up-to-date information on the agents used in infusion therapy. Extensive coverage of infusion therapy equipment, from purchasing equipment to using it and maintaining it, provides the nurse with practical information on the equipment used in infusion therapy. This text covers all nine core areas of INS certification ( technical and clinical, fluid and electrolytes, pharmacology, infection control, transfusion therapy, oncology, pediatrics, total parenteral nutrition, and quality assurance), making it a great resource for review and study for certification. Where appropriate, the text offers tips for patient education, helping experienced nurses find new approaches, and providing new nurses with a framework of patient strategies to work from. Every chapter begins with a brief chapter outline to enable the reader to immediately assess the content and scope of the chapter. Throughout the text key information is presented in easy to read tables, boxes and bulleted lists to save readers time and to pull important information together in a single place. Nursing diagnoses and patient outcomes are included in chapters to provide quick, complete information on clinical application. Basic material is addressed first and organized to facilitate learning for a new practitioner. Advanced and supplemental chapters are located later in the text, to be addressed as the student knows and understands the more basic material. Each chapter stands alone providing a brief mini-review and refresher for busy professionals. The
