BSAVA Textbook of Veterinary Nursing 4. edition

This new edition again covers the whole range of veterinary nursing in small animal practice, with all chapters revised or rewritten. New features include: extensive integrated coverage of exotic and small mammal care; expanded clinical nutrition; a new separate chapter on dentistry; coverage of alternative therapies; and extended coverage of animal behaviour problems. Recent advances in training and in the nursing profession are reflected in the inclusion of brand new sections on communication and on the process and models of veterinary nursing. The need for evidence-based medicine is shown in the introduction of care plans and this new edition emphasises professional standards.
The introduction of full colour illustrations, specially commissioned line drawings, and highlighted tables will aid the reader, many of whom will be using the book while studying to pass examinations.
In addition to students of veterinary nursing, qualified veterinary nurses will use this book as a comprehensive reference source.
A total of 41 contributors have been involved in this edition, either updating or writing completely new chapters. They and we have endeavoured to produce a modern and comprehensive text that will ensure the best in patient care.
