There has been a steady increase in nurse-led services and gastrointestinal nursing is an expanding area. This comprehensive text lays the foundation by reviewing the anatomy and physiology underlying common conditions before covering the pathophysiology of clinical features, causes, investigation and management. Underlying this approach will be the specific nursing aspects of caring for patients with gastrointestinal conditions, covering psychosocial factors and issues such as the measurement of health related quality of life.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 1 Structure, Function and Disorders of the Gastrointestinal Tract 11\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 An Overview of the Gastrointestinal Tract 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 The Oesophagus 24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 The Stomach 38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 The Small Intestine 58\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 The Large Intestine 75\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 The Liver 106\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 The Biliary System 115\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 The Pancreas 124\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 2 Essential Aspects of Gastroenterology 135\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Diagnostic Procedures and Tests in Gastroenterology 137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Gastrointestinal Emergencies 151\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Pharmacology in Gastroenterology 158\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 3 Living with Gastrointestinal Disorders 165\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 The Role of Psychosocial Factors in Gastroenterology 167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Quality of Life in Gastroenterology 179\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary 189\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUseful Addresses 193\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 196\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 205\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Nursing \u0026amp; ancillary services [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Nursing \u0026amp; ancillary services\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Nursing%20\u0026amp;%20ancillary%20services%20%5BMQ%5D%22\"\u003eMQ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52501416444184,"sku":"9780632052943","price":48.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780632052943.jpg?v=1786236784","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/gastrointestinal-nursing-paperback-softback-9780632052943","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
