Sarah Pederson, BSN, RN, SANE-A, SANE-P Atlanta, Georgia The Sexually Transmitted Infection and Disease Assessment is a very detailed explanation of sexually transmitted infections. It not only discusses prevalence, epidemiology, assessment, and treatment, but it provides great case studies and provides the reader with the ability to self-evaluate their understanding of the diseases. The tables give you quick references to immunization schedules and illustrations assist the provider in identifying diseases. This is the type of treatise that is so beneficial to front line providers to assist them in medical diagnosis and treatment. This is a ""must purchase"" for nurses who are pursuing degrees as advanced practice providers. Barbra A.
