Science for Nurse Anesthesiologists, 1st Edition
Paperback
$154.99
-
- Contains various topics ranging from basic mathematics for safe medication administration to physics, general and organic chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology—all at a level for and written by nurse anesthetists
- Each chapter includes pharmacology, physiology, and anesthesia care applications, linking the scientific concepts to clinical practice
- Numerous full-color illustrations to enhance the understanding of complex concepts for first-time learners
- Rhea Temmermand (Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA) and Edwin Aroke (University of Alabama, Birmingham, AL) are trained scientists and CRNAs who are actively involved in research, teaching, and clinical practice in the nurse anesthesia profession. They have assembled a team of 25+ authors from around the country, including program directors, scientists, and CRNAs that also recognize a great need for this valuable resource. Many of the authors have both a science and clinical background and teach chemistry and physics courses
- Evolve site that includes a question bank for students containing 500 sample exam questions
