4.9/5 (12715 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Home Nursing: Modern Scientific Methods for the Care of the Sick "Efficiency" is the keynote in the work of the world today, and no other profession is more up to date than the profession of nursing, with its efficient modern methods in the care of the sick, and the alleviation of suffering. In this second edition of "A Textbook on Home Nursing" the author has made every effort to take advantage of the latest knowledge in the science of nursing, without losing sight of the original purpose (as indicated by the title) for which this little book was written. The question of diet, in relation to disease, is an important study, these days; and particular emphasis is laid on the number of "calories" or "heat units" required to keep the body in proper condition, so a chapter has been devoted to the special foods that give a right balance in nourishment. A chapter of recipes for invalid cooking will also be found of value when planning the diet list. "Outdoor treatment" in the cure of disease has proved of enormous value; so the preparation of an outdoor sleeping bed, methods of ventilation, and fresh air baths, have been described in full. A great majority of patients nursed at home are suffering from chronic diseases, or convalescing from severe illnesses; and one chapter has been devoted to comforts and conveniences for the patient which mean so much in the life of a "shut in." Chapters on emergencies; preparation for a surgical operation at home; care of sick children; baths, their importance and rules of procedure; contagious diseases, isolation and disinfection, etc., form part of the subject matter of the book.
