Haematology Nursing is a comprehensive handbook, with a
nursing focus, on the care and management of patients with
haematological disorders. Divided into four sections, the first
provides an introduction to haematology, looking at haemopoiesis,
immunology and genetics. Section Two covers non-malignant
haematology, including anaemia, haemoglobinopathies and
haemochromatosis. Section Three explores the pathophysiology, care
and management of myeloproliferative and lymphoproliferative
disorders, including leukaemia, myeloma, and lymphoma. The
final section provides information on various nursing care
interventions, including blood transfusion, venous access devices,
and palliative care.
Aimed principally at nurses working in a variety of settings
including haematology/oncology wards, medical/haematology wards,
specialist bone marrow transplant centres, and community settings,
Haematology Nursing is an essential and much-needed
reference guide.
