This new book helps adapt nursing care to the HIV/AIDS patient. The clinical pathophysiology of the disease, including immunopathogenesis, aerologic testing, the clinical course of the disease, classification system, and nursing research are presented for a comprehensive focus. It defines skills, interventions, and care needed for the HIV/AIDS patient, regardless of the setting. Nursing management covers health promotion and maintenance, acute interventions, and chronic/home management to prepare clinicians for appropriate interventions at any stage of illness. Clinical guidelines, increased patient education, and management of pharmacological reactions and complications are integrated throughout.
