Clinical Guidelines for Advanced Practice Nursing: An Interdisciplinary Strategy, Third Edition, provides a comprehensive and practical reference for nurses and students involved in daily clinical decision-making processes. Developed in collaboration with certified nurse midwives, clinical nurse specialists, nurse practitioners, nutritionists, pharmacists, and physicians, this book promotes a collaborative approach to healthcare. With sections on Pediatrics, Gynecology, Obstetrics, and Adult General Medicine, following a lifespan approach, it adopts the S-O-A-P (Subjective-Objective-Assessment-Plan) format. Furthermore, the text delves into complex chronic disease management, health promotion across all ages, and addresses professional and legal issues such as reimbursement, billing, and legal scope of practice. The updated Third Edition places a strong emphasis on gerontology to cater to the needs of the AGNP specialty and provide better support for those caring for the aging population. Authors emphasize a lifespan approach and focus on common full disorders. Revised chapters and new additions include topics like Health Maintenance for Older Adults, Frailty, Common Gerontology Syndromes, Cancer Survivorship, Lipid Disorders, and Acne in the pediatrics section. It’s worth mentioning that the 2016 CDC Guidelines for prescribing opioids for chronic pain in the USA were not available during the update of this edition.
