Summary
The nurse plays a vital role as an educator, care provider, and advocate for patients and families affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). This updated second edition examines complex issues in MS management and reflects a new philosophy of MS care: one of empowerment. The focus is on the numerous settings in which MS nurses practice, as well as their many roles and responsibilities in managing this highly variable disease. It will provide the reader with an updated view of MS along with a greater understanding of its lifelong impact. Special features of the second edition include: - A new chapter on sustaining hope in MS patients - A new chapter on treatment of acute exacerbations - A new chapter on emerging intravenous therapies - Expanded sections on pain, depression, and skin care with frequent injections
