Sommario/riassunto

This book is designed to meet the needs of nurse practitioners and other Advanced Practice Nurses, as well as physician assistants, working in urology. The full range of domains of practice is covered,



including assessment and diagnosis, clinical management, nurse practitioner and patient relationships, consultation, health promotion and disease prevention, and practice management and research. Some background knowledge is assumed regarding the normal anatomy and physiology of the genitourinary system and the pathophysiology underlying specific urologic health-related problems.
