Features: This book consists of 29 chapters, each divided into two parts: "Basic Knowledge" and "Nursing." The "Basic Knowledge" section primarily introduces relevant concepts of symptoms or signs, summarizing their classification, etiology, triggers, and mechanisms in tabular form. It employs Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory to explain the etiology and pathogenesis of symptoms, as well as associated clinical manifestations, using charts and diagrams to visually describe the main diseases causing these symptoms and signs, while suggesting corresponding examination methods. The "Nursing" section applies the nursing process approach to discuss nursing assessment, nursing diagnosis, nursing interventions, and health education. It organically integrates TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment methods into nursing assessment and interventions, reflecting the characteristics of integrative Chinese and Western nursing and the "patient-centered" nursing philosophy.
