A Quiz Book of Nursing for Teachers and Students (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Quiz Book of Nursing for Teachers and Students This book aims to be useful, in the most practical way, to nurses who teach, and to those who are study ing under them. It is, in large part, a quiz book, offering in the form of terse question and answer essential information on a wide range of subjects - the information that is essential from the nurse's stand point. Those who teach will find these questions of assistance when the time they have to devote to preparation for their class work is limited; and those who are taking courses will find the book a great help, especially when studying for examinations. There are some one thousand questions on nursing subjects proper, including the general care of the ward; the usual daily care of patients; the significance of the more common symptoms and the special points per taining to them to be noted and recorded; methods of administering medicines; the principles of surgical nursing, of obstetrics, of the care of children, of first aid in emergencies, the duties of head nurses, and of private nurses; and the methods of teaching nursing. There are about fifty question on hygiene, the same on bacteriology, three hundred and fifty on anatomy and physiology, two hundred and fifty on dietetics, and one hundred and fifty on materia medica.
