Parasites and Pets: A Veterinary Nursing Guide
This book is designedspecifically for veterinary nurses and veterinary nursing students, and adoptsan inquiry-based approach to assist veterinary nurses in gaining the essentialknowledge and practical understanding necessary to excel in supporting veterinarysurgeons to achieve an optimal management of parasitic diseases of dogs andcats.
Supported by figures andending with learning outcomes, each chapter includes a number of questions andanswers about a major group of parasites. Readers can also identify their ownabilities and areas for development by completing the end-of-chapterself-assessment questions, answers to which can be found at the back of thebook. The questions are designed to encourage veterinary nurses to questiontheir practice, rationales and the evidence base of the parasitology caredelivery they provide to the patients.
