Product Description
Hands-on help from theA comprehensive A-to-Z directory that answers questions about common ailments
experts on the front lines
Whether you call your doctor's office with a problem, make a visit, or are treated in a hospital, chances are a nurse will answer your questions, skillfully directing you to the care you need. That's because nurses provide more hands-on care than any other health care professional. Ask a Nurse draws on the collective expertise of more than 550 nursing schools and 100 practicing nurses nationwide to bring you treatment advice for a wide range of physical complaints, from acne to heartburn to wheezing. This exhaustive resource includes
Separate sections on health issues unique to men, women, and children
A complete guide to consumer rights
Plus advice on choosing a reliable pharmacist, putting together a home medical kit, making a hospital stay more comfortable, and more!
Every piece of advice was written by dedicated professionals who spend their days either caring for patients or training other nurses how to do so. They can tell you what works and what doesn't; when you need a doctor's care and what you can treat yourself. There is no better resource for practical health advice, so go ahead, ask a nurse!

Just Bought Ask A Nurse,
By TOYA T. POWELL (Memphis, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ask a Nurse: From Home Remedies to Hospital Care (Hardcover)
This book's information was excellent, but the format used made it extremely difficult to focus on the extraordinary information. The author chose to pay homage to each of the nurses for their contributions by constantly giving their names and professional initials with every contribution. This was distracting and made for difficult reading. It would have been so much better if it had been footnoted and the names listed at the end. Most of the readers of this book don't know any of the nurses mentioned (sometimes so many listings on a page that you loose your train of thought). I hope the author will write a new edition with all the names at the end of the text.

Everyone should own it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ask a Nurse: From Home Remedies to Hospital Care (Hardcover)
This is really a helpful book. So much more useful than those "doctor" books. Clearly, these nurses know more about basic care than most physicians -- that's what makes this book so useful and valuable. I think every household should own a copy.

Ask A Nurse,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ask a Nurse: From Home Remedies to Hospital Care (Hardcover)
It is really hard in this day and age to find a health-related book with practical information that is relibale and easy to follow. This book is a great resource for anyone who is interested in finding basic, clearly-stated information about common health problems.
