Ask a Nurse: From Home Remedies to Hospital Care

When it comes to answering patients' questions simply and directly, nurses are widely recognized as the most trusted of all health professionals. So who better to provide inside information about how to manage common health conditions, simple home treatments, and how to make the most of the health care system? Compiling the expertise of 530 nursing schools and personal advice from more than 200 nurses nationwide, Ask a Nurse is a one-of-a-kind, quick-reference book of invaluable hands-on treatment and healing tips. Arranged alphabetically, the entries explain common conditions, list detailed symptoms, and offer top-to-bottom treatment "menus", featuring everything from effective over-the-counter medications to economical self-care. Readers will learn about a range of alternative and natural remedies such as taking devil's claw to ease arthritis pain, using tea tree oil to relieve athlete's foot, and how to use a tea bag to reduce swelling. Featuring special sections on addiction, emergency first aid, consumer rights, home medical kits, as well as on men's, women's, and children's health issues, Ask a Nurse offers households all of the comfort, care, and reassuring practical advice for which nurses are known.
