Nurses hold a critical role in modern health care that goes beyond their day-to-day duties. They share more information with patients than any other provider group and are alongside patients twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, offering understanding of complex health issues, holistic approaches to ailments and advice for the patient that extends to the family.
Nurses themselves are a powerful tool in the healing process. What Nurses Know gives down-to-earth information, addresses consumers as equal partners in their care and explains clearly what readers need and want to know to understand their condition and move forward with their lives.
