Book Reviews
"…the content will be most useful to nurses for both exam and practical purposes… There is an impressive breadth of topics, ranging from basic science such as general chemistry to clinical aspects of chronic kidney disease treatment to technical areas such as machine parameters and troubleshooting… This is a very well-written, approachable resource for a whole range of topics related to dialysis and the care of patients on dialysis. The field of dialysis nursing appears to have relatively few resources available, and none approaching this quality. And while clinical care has not changed dramatically since the most recent edition, a number of relevant guidelines and several new medications are reflected in this new edition."
