We decided to offer this course after a conversation with a nurse who teaches dialysis classes all over the US. She recommended this book, saying that it’s found in every dialysis unit in the country, and is one of the books nurses refer to when they have questions. It is a high level book, written by physicians. The course will offer a wealth of information for nurses (experienced or inexperienced) working in the dialysis setting. It will help them understand the rationale behind physician orders. The handbook provides information on all aspects of dialysis, with emphasis on day-to-day management of patients. Chapters provide complete coverage of hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, special problems in dialysis patients, and problems pertaining to various organ systems.
