Text Book Of Anatomy And Physiology For Nurses Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Text-Book of Anatomy and Physiology: For Nurses Once more this book has been thoroughly revised. This revision represents an effort to simplify the most difficult portions, to introduce more physiology, and to present more fully the subject of the generative organs. Much of the book has been rewritten, a number of new illustrations have been introduced, and several that seemed to have outlived their usefulness have been discarded. As in the previous revision, many Superintendents and Teachers of Training Schools have been consulted both personally and by letter. The suggestions Offered by them have been' of very great value, and have been carried out as far as possible. It is a privilege and pleasure to acknowledge this indebtedness. My thanks are due to Miss Charlotte A. Francis, Instructor of Chemistry in Teachers College, Columbia University, for rewriting the first chapter, also to Dr. R. J. E. Scott Of New York, who supervised the entire revision and made the index. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Elements of Anatomy and Physiology for Nurses IN the composition of this book the writer has been guided by his own needs and influenced by the following reflections. The field of Anatomy and Physiology is too large to be treated adequately in a textbook of less than several volumes. No nurse can or need become acquainted with the Whole field, but she should know pretty well those parts which border on her own experience. The training school may then with propriety seek to make the nurse thoroughly famil iar with a very few fundamental and typical phenomena such as may be presented in a little book, and furthermore it should encourage her to work up her cases from the larger reference books just as the doctor does, although of course in much less detail and from a somewhat different stand point. If she has thoroughly grasped the rudiments of the subject, this procedure will be an easy and pleasant one. This is no new-fangled notion, for the case method of teaching law and medical students is an old story. The case method has among other advantages this very obvious one, that the facts acquired in this way are a much more permanent acquisition than is the case when they are served cold, so to speak, in a lesson book.
