A Guide to Oncology Symptom Management
Edited by C. G. Brown

As an oncology nurse, every day you see patients who experience multiple symptoms, some related to cancer, some related to treatment, others non-cancer related. To effectively treat what you might find at the bedside, you need information based on the highest-level evidence focused on responses to any number of symptoms.

A Guide to Oncology Symptom Management provides you with the coverage of symptoms and conditions that you need. From symptoms found in older adults to common symptoms such as chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, cancer-related fatigue, and oral mucositis, this new book offers a complete overview of common symptoms and problems that affect patients with cancer.

You'll find in each chapter detailed incidence and prevalence information as well as an explanation of the pathophysiology related to the topic. Each chapter also includes a case study and appropriate evidence-based assessment and treatment strategies. Finally, outcomes to be expected from optimal management are clearly delineated. Symptoms discussed in chapters include anemia, cognitive impairment, constipation, sleep-wake disturbances, and much more.

Putting Evidence Into Practice: Improving Oncology
Patient Outcomes
Edited by L. H. Eaton and J. M. Tipton

Since 2006, the highly-successful ONS Putting Evidence Into Practice (PEP) cards have helped thousands of oncology nurses worldwide implement evidence-based interventions into their practice, improving nursing-sensitive patient outcomes.

Now, the ONS PEP resources have been collected into one volume. Not only does this new book include the updated PEP resources (volumes 1-4), but you will gain access to assessment and measurement tools as well as ideas for patient care and organizational use and case studies to illustrate the application of tools.

Nurses can utilize the measurement tools and references to begin to measure application of interventions in practice, helping to document the impact of nursing interventions on patient outcomes and, ultimately, leading to improved patient satisfaction, recognition of a professional approach to care, and optimal patient outcomes.

This new book places all the PEP resources at your fingertips, providing you with a comprehensive resource you can use to guide your daily practice.

At this time, there are no plans to make available printed versions of the updated PEP cards outside the contents of this new book, so you'll want to order your copy so you will not miss the updated information!

Woman Cancer Sex
By Anne Katz, RN, PhD
From Hygeia Media - An Imprint of the Oncology Nursing Society

Sexuality after a diagnosis of cancer is a real issue for women and their partners. In her new book, Woman Cancer Sex, Dr. Anne Katz explains the changes that many women with cancer experience and offers practical and compassionate advice on how to handle these changes.

Each chapter describes the experience of a woman with a particular kind of cancer and a variety of related problems, including loss of libido, physical pain, and struggles communicating with a partner.

Dr. Katz tackles this sensitive and often unspoken topic in several ways–detailing the physical aspect of sexuality; highlighting the different feelings a woman might have during her experience, and presenting strategies women can really use in their daily life. Also included is specific information for the partner.

This book from Hygeia Media, an exciting new imprint from the Oncology Nursing Society for patients, nurses, and caregivers, gives your patients with cancer the information and tools they need to reclaim their sex life after the challenges of cancer.
