I would urge physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals to keep a copy of this wonderfulresource with them at all times; I certainly intend to do so!" -- Anne Belcher, PhD, RN, AOCN, FAAN, Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing"The technical and organizational pressures on those providing medical care today are often overwhelming.
