Core Curriculum for Urologic Nursing, Second Edition - Adult Urology

Book excerpt: Urologic nursing and the specialty of urology have evolved to meet an increasingly diverse patient population with health needs across the lifespan. Urologic nurses, whether generalists or advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), have increasingly important and expanded roles in the prevention and management of acute or chronic urological problems. Leadership roles in consumer and professional education, practice administration, quality improvement initiatives and research, and policy advocacy related to urologic issues have strengthened urologic nursing as a specialty area. This second edition of the Core Curriculum for Urologic Nursing - Adult Health provides an in-depth re¬view of information to meet the urologic care needs of male and female adults throughout the lifespan.
