Description
Davis’s Diseases and Disorders, Sixth Edition, is a nursing therapeutics manual that puts information on more than 240 diseases and disorders at your fingertips. Written by Marilyn Sawyer Sommers and published by F.A. Davis Company in October 2018, Davis’s Diseases and Disorders: A Nursing Therapeutics Manual is presented by its publisher as a “must have” handbook for caring for patients. It is designed for quick reference when you meet an unfamiliar condition. This page offers the bibliographic details, an online FlipBook preview and the PDF eBook after purchase.
Who needs Davis’s Diseases and Disorders?
- Nursing students preparing for placements who need fast background on their patients’ conditions.
- New graduate nurses rotating through units where they meet many different diagnoses.
- Experienced nurses who want a compact refresher before caring for a less familiar condition.
- Nurse educators and preceptors preparing case discussions.
A disease manual complements, but does not replace, a medical-surgical textbook. Our guide to nursing textbooks for students explains how reference manuals and core texts fit together.
What the manual covers
As the title indicates, the book is organised condition by condition, so you can go straight to the disease or disorder you need instead of reading a chapter on a whole body system. The publisher highlights coverage of more than 240 diseases and disorders, with a nursing therapeutics focus: what the condition means for the patient and how nurses care for them. The exact headings used in each entry are best checked directly in the book. Because entries are self-contained, Davis’s Diseases and Disorders suits short reading sessions between shifts or before a clinical day, rather than long study blocks.

How to use a disease manual on placement
- Prepare the evening before. Look up your assigned patient’s main diagnosis and note the priorities for nursing care.
- Turn entries into care-plan points. Use the information to identify likely nursing problems, then build the plan with a nursing diagnosis handbook.
- Check patient-friendly explanations. When you prepare patient teaching, compare your wording with consumer health pages such as MedlinePlus.
- Revise actively. Summarise each condition you meet in three lines from memory; see our article on active recall.
