The only text of its kind for practising clinicians, Quick Reference Guide: Otolaryngology is a comprehensive, quick-access reference written specifically for nurses, physician's assistants and medical students. Not only is it useful as a pithy reference guide for clinicians, it is a learning system designed to foster retention and comprehension and an in-depth review for written boards and ENT certification.
The book is authored by a nurse practitioner with two practising otolaryngologists, who are among the most highly respected professionals in their fields, as consultants.
The guide is consistently organised by anatomical region and contains, for each topic, easy-to-follow tables, charts, diagrams and algorithms to guide in the work-up, differential diagnosis, diagnostic methods, medical therapy and treatment alternatives. The text includes procedure protocols used in clinical settings and staging criteria for common cancer diagnoses. Another important feature is the guide's overview of surgical management for specific conditions. Topics are covered on a "need-to-know" basis for written boards and certification review.
