Description
Since 2006, the highly-successful Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) Putting Evidence Into Practice (PEP) cards have helped thousands of oncology nurses worldwide implement evidence-based interventions into their practice, improving nursing-sensitive patient outcomes.
The ONS PEP resources have been collected into one volume and made cross-searchable in STAT!Ref. Not only does this new title include the updated PEP resources (volumes 1-4), but you will gain access to assessment and measurement tools as well as ideas for patient care and organizational use and case studies to illustrate the application of tools.
Nurses can utilize the measurement tools and references to begin to measure application of interventions in practice, helping to document the impact of nursing interventions on patient outcomes and, ultimately, leading to improved patient satisfaction, recognition of a professional approach to care and optimal patient outcomes.
This new title places all the PEP resources at your fingertips, providing you with a comprehensive resource you can use to guide your daily practice.

"This is an excellent resource for oncology nurses at all levels. It presents the most up-to-date evidence-based practice recommendations for nurses caring for cancer patients and represents the gold standard of nursing care of this population. To my knowledge, there is no another book available that presents this information all in one place."
