About this book
This book is meant as a practical nursing guide for both the inpatient and outpatient settings as well as the adult and pediatric populations. This virus has progressed rapidly, causing substantial disruption on a global scale never before seen in our lifetime. Caring for these patients has proven especially challenging dueto the rapid growth of research and ever evolving data that comes with the discovery of a new disease. The editors desired to produce a concise, current, and convenient resource accessible to nurses of any background, in any geographical location, which would provide a foundation for the care of patients with COVID-19.
