作者:Norma Car lisle Muthe，注册会计师，硕士。波士顿:利特尔，布朗公司，1981年，244页，平装本10.95美元。这本书是一个独特的清晰，易读的解释一个复杂的主题，专门为护士写的。章节按腺体组织，描述激素，它们的作用，以及缺乏或过量的影响。疾病实体，如桥本氏症、不孕症或闭经，不被视为问题，而仅与适当的激素有关。糖尿病教育者会欣赏关于生长激素、促肾上腺皮质激素、肾上腺素、胰和肠胰高血糖素的讨论。探讨甲状腺素过量对糖尿病的影响。35页专门讨论糖尿病，包括继发性激素原因、诊断测试、口服药物、胰岛素、运动、饮食和食物交换、并发症、教学、儿童和青少年、怀孕和新概念都得到了充分但粗略的治疗。关于患者文献和视障人士资源的部分是有帮助的。这本书将是任何医疗楼层或诊所的护士书桌上的一个补充。啊
