Gastrointestinal Nursing

Gastrointestinal Nursing, 1st Edition, authored by Leigh Donnelly and Shellie Radford, provides a practical textbook for nursing students, gastroenterology specialty nurses, and digestive health practitioners. The work focuses on the clinical care and management of digestive disorders, helping clinicians and trainees navigate pathological conditions of the gastrointestinal tract.

The text explains the fundamental biological processes of digestion, secretion, and elimination while systematically detailing common gastrointestinal diseases. Organ-focused chapters examine each condition through a consistent analytical progression, covering disease aetiology, underlying pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluations, investigations, therapeutic management, and patient outcomes.

In addition to core disease management, the volume incorporates sustainable gastroenterology content. This feature highlights sustainable practice methods within endoscopy, hepatology, gastroenterology, inflammatory bowel disease care, and drug treatments, establishing a clear link between clinical knowledge and modern healthcare delivery for academic nursing programs.
