Sommario/riassunto: Written by nurses for nurses, Asthma Care in the Community emphasizes the ""back to basics"" approach, which is often forgotten in a high technology healthcare system. The book covers epidemiology, including prevalence, morbidity, and mortality; the economic and social burden of asthma; the pathology and pathophysiology of asthma; managing patients with asthma, both pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically; managing uncomplicated asthma, right through to the more complex issues surrounding acute episodes and ""difficult to manage"" situations.
