Clients with immunological or hematological disorders have complex physical and psychological needs that present unique challenges to nurses. Nursing care can make a tremendous difference in the level of wellness of these clients. This book describes the pathophysiology and nursing interventions for conditions such as disseminated intravascular coagulation, AIDS, bone marrow transplant, hemophilia, and anemia. Nursing diagnoses are emphasized throughout the text—the author introduces new diagnoses and explains those that have already been established.

Features:
- Clear descriptions of the physiology and pathophysiology of the hematological and immunological systems.
- Care plans for the bleeding client, the immunosuppressed client, and the anemic client.
- The latest research findings on the role of environmental, psychosocial, and physiological factors.
