Summary:

"The Biological Basis of Nursing: Clinical Observations integrates
clear explanations of the techniques involved in these procedures
with the biological knowledge which gives them meaning. For each
topic, William Blows explains the pathological basis for variation in
observed results." "The basic observations taught at the start of
training are explored at a fundamental level, while neurological
observations are explained in more depth. Generously illustrated,
this is an essential text for nurses in training. It will also be of
use to clinical staff and nurse educators."--BOOK JACKET.
