About this book
Endorsed by the Association of Radiologic and Imaging Nursing (ARIN), this first of a kind comprehensive radiology nursing textbook fills a gap by addressing important subjects for patient care and professional issues, as well as, future possibilities affecting nursing practice. It serves as a resource to related nursing specialties, e.g. critical care, emergency or peri-anesthesia, and to radiologic technologists and physician assistants. The book could be used as one resource for studying for radiologic nursing certification.
The textbook is subdivided into five sections that address advanced practice and leadership roles, clinical patient care topics, safety topics, including legal considerations, e.g. infection prevention and equipment. It includes a section with topics impacting the patient experience and a section on professional topics, e.g. cybersecurity, social media, research/outcomes, interprofessional collaboration, workplace violence and current trends in imaging.
The authors include advanced practice providers, radiology nurse managers, educators, physicians, a physicist, a dentist, attorneys, a child life specialist, administrators and a social worker.
Radiology diagnostic examinations and therapeutic procedures have become a more prominent part of patient care due to advances in technology and the ability of radiology to provide services that were traditionally done in surgery or not done because of limited knowledge. Many procedures are facilitated by the radiology nurse from initial consult to transfer to a hospital unit or discharge and follow-up. Nurses assess, monitor, administer sedation/other medications and respond to emergencies. They serve as educators, researchers, and resource personnel to the radiology department and in many instances, to the entire facility. Radiology nurses are real leaders. In order to keep up-to-date on new developments, nurses need newliterature to support their clinical expertise and leadership. This book is an unparalleled resource, written by experts in their areas of interest.

Reviews
“Excellent resource for the advanced practice registered nurse in the radiology as well as other clinical settings. Includes discussion specific to advanced practice roles of the nurse practitioner (NP), clinical nurse specialist (CNS), certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA), and nurse manager as well as the role of the physician’s assistant in caring for patients across the lifespan in the radiology clinical setting. Includes in depth discussion and overview of advanced practice roles, evidence based clinical practice, patient safety, the patient perspective, nursing research, and nursing education. Includes timely discussion of contemporary topics such as cybersecurity, social media, the use of lasers, regulatory standards, telehealth, legal and ethical issues, the use of sedation, as well as the intricacies of care elements related to interventional radiology. Should be an integral addition to the libraries of all advanced practice disciplines within the radiology setting.” (Lucie J. Agosta, Associate Professor, Coordinator, FNP Track, Southeastern Louisiana University)
