Comprehensive Nursing Care In Multiple Sclerosis

Comprehensive Nursing Care In Multiple Sclerosis

Synopsis

This is a comprehensive clinical reference for all nurses caring for patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a chronic, often debilitating, neurologic disease that lasts a lifetime. The nurses' role in caring for patients with MS requires innovative, functional, sensitive, and dedicated nursing care that is aimed at providing on-going support for patients. This book assists nurses in helping patients to devise, learn, and implement self-care strategies that can help improve their 'wellness,' their quality of life, and most importantly, provide hope and empowerment. This newly revised edition is completely reorganized, refocused, and updated throughout to provide a stronger focus on two aspects of MS nursing: the concept of hope and the multitude of nursing roles that can make the difference for patients between feeling helpless and feeling hopeful. The variety of nursing roles is highlighted throughout the book using intimate case studies. This revision also highlights the roles of the MS nurse that include the roles of care provider, facilitator, advocate, educator, counselor, and innovator. The book takes a fresh look at these roles and how they can be implemented with MS patients throughout the lifespan. The book is designed to articulate how MS Nurses improve the quality of life for the individual living with the MS diagnosis and to illustrate how to deliver nursing care that is culturally sensitive and lifespan appropriate.
