The concise, relatively small book is an excellent resource for aspiring or established nurse specialist or advanced practitioners and prescribers who are interested in evidence based care of the individual with rheumatoid arthritis. However, there are one or two caveats to recommending this book. Firstly it fails to describe the full benefits of key roles that nurses and multi-professional teams play - although these are briefly discussed it will not give the reader enough information about the scope of each individual role. In addition, the social and psychological impact of the condition is not really considered in this book. So these issues and aspects of managing symptoms and supporting the individual with rheumatoid arthritis are sadly lacking and the reader would need to other key nursing textbooks to compliment this otherwise excellent book.
这本简洁、篇幅相对较小的书，对于有志成为或已成为护士专家、高级从业者及开处方者的人来说，是一本绝佳的资源，他们对类风湿关节炎患者的循证护理感兴趣。然而，推荐这本书有一两个需要注意的地方。首先，它没有描述护士和多专业团队所扮演关键角色的全部益处——尽管这些角色有简要讨论，但并未给读者提供关于每个角色范围的足够信息。此外，本书并未真正考虑该病症的社会和心理影响。所以，在管理症状以及支持类风湿关节炎患者方面，这些问题及方面令人遗憾地有所欠缺，读者需要参考其他关键护理教科书来补充这本堪称优秀的书。
