Finally, the author looks at intermediate, home-based and end of life care.Featuring boxes, tables, diagrams, reader activities, a list of abbreviations and a full glossary, this book offers a holistic and practical approach to caring for a patient with a respiratory disease.Contents include:• Introduction• A quick look at anatomy and physiology• Respiratory assessment• Physical assessment• Secondary data• Acute conditions • Chronic conditions• Self-management• Pharmacology • Intermediate, home-based and end of life care
