Abstract

The latest edition, the fourth, of Disaster Nursing and Emergency Preparedness for Chemical, Biological and Radiological Terrorism and Other Hazards stands out as a pivotal resource aimed at fortifying the emergency readiness of nursing and healthcare practitioners against disasters. Under the stewardship of Tener Goodwin Veenema, a renowned authority in disaster nursing, this edition broadens the narrative to encompass an extensive array of hazards, spanning natural calamities to acts of terrorism. The structured layout, segmented into clear divisions such as preparedness, response, recovery and specialised topics, streamlines both pedagogical and emergency reference purposes.
