BookSociety of Urologic Nurses and Associates.
Summary: "Urologic health care problems are often very complex, and nurses who treat these issues practice in a wide range of settings with patients across the lifespan. The urologic nursing specialty requires its professionals to have a comprehensive knowledge of developmental and aging changes that are essential to understanding acute and chronic urologic diseases. Urologic Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice meets this need by defining and describing the scope of practice, educational preparation, certification, and practice environment/population focus of the urologic registered nurse (RN) and advanced practice registered nurse (APRN). The standards also outline current challenges to urologic nursing and the competencies all urologic nurses are expected to attain"--Publisher's description.
