Intended for nursing students, the 50 case studies in this supplemental textbook each begins with vocabulary words, the patient presentation, and a list of home medications to analyze without knowing existing conditions or physician orders. Guided inquiry moves the student along in the study of the patient and their medications, and encourages nurses to develop interventions and outcomes independent of the medical diagnosis. Putnam teaches at Saginaw Valley State University. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
