About this book
A Reference Hand-Book for Nurses is a comprehensive and practical guide designed to support both student and professional nurses in their daily responsibilities and ongoing education. Compiled by Amanda K. Beck, this book offers a wealth of essential information, covering a broad spectrum of nursing topics relevant to the early 20th century but still valuable for historical insight today. The hand-book includes detailed instructions on bedside care, hygiene, the administration of medicines, and the management of common medical and surgical conditions. It provides clear explanations of medical terminology, the preparation and use of various medical instruments, and the principles of aseptic technique. Special attention is given to the care of patients with infectious diseases, the handling of emergencies, and the importance of accurate record-keeping. The book also addresses the ethical and professional standards expected of nurses, emphasizing compassion, discretion, and diligence. With its organized structure, practical advice, and emphasis on both technical skills and patient-centered care, A Reference Hand-Book for Nurses serves as an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the foundational practices of nursing and the evolution of the profession.
