OverviewWith a focus on chemistry and physics content that is directly relevant to the practice of anesthesia, this text--written in an engaging, conversational style--supplies all the scientific information required for the combined chemistry and physics course for nurse anesthesia students. Now in its third edition, the text is updated and reorganized to facilitate a greater ease and depth of understanding. The addition of a third author--a practicing nurse anesthetist--enhances the clinical relevance of the scientific information. Clinical scenarios now begin every chapter, and a concluding chapter, new to this edition, provides detailed, step-by-step solutions to the book's review questions. Also included is a comprehensive list of need-to-know equations. The third edition retains the many outstanding learning features from earlier editions, including a special focus on gases, the use of illustrations to demonstrate how scientific concepts relate directly to their clinical application in anesthesia, and end-of-chapter summaries and review questions to facilitate self-assessment. Fifteen online videos enhance teaching and learning, and abundant clinical application scenarios help reinforce scientific principles and relate them to day-to-day anesthesia procedures. This clear, easy-to-read text will help even the most chemistry- and physics-phobic students to master the foundations of these sciences and competently apply them in a variety of clinical situations. NEW TO THE THIRD EDITION: Increased focus on clinical relevance Revised and updated chapters foster ease of understanding Clinical application scenarios open each chapter A new chapter provides guidance about calculator use and a unique problem-solving method Detailed step-by-step solutions clarify answers to end-of-chapter problems Comprehensive list of all key equations with explanation of symbols KEY FEATURES: Written in an engaging, informal style for ease of understanding Focuses solely on chemistry and physics principles relevant to nurse anesthetists Provides end-of-chapter summaries and review questions Fifteen online videos enhance teaching and learning Includes abundant illustrations that apply theory to practice Full Product DetailsAuthor: David Shubert , John Leyba, PhD , Sharon NiemannPublisher: Springer Publishing Co Inc Imprint: Springer Publishing Co Inc Edition: 3rd edition Dimensions: Width: 17.80cm , Height: 2.30cm , Length: 25.40cm Weight: 0.982kg ISBN: 9780826107824ISBN 10: 0826107826 Pages: 608 Publication Date: 24 February 2017 Audience: College/higher education , Tertiary & Higher Education Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Manufactured on demand  We will order this item for you from a manufactured on demand supplier.
