Understanding Cervical Cancer Anatomical Chart defines cervical cancer, lists risks factors, such as human papilloma virus (HPV), and describes signs and symptoms, treatments and preventive measures. Illustrations show female anatomy, highlighting the location of the cervix, and provide a view of the cervix as seen through a speculum on a pelvic exam. The chart shows an ectocervical lesion and cellular view of carcinoma in situ. Images and descriptions of the stages 0 through IV of cancer are also included.

The Second Edition of this chart has been simplified for easier and faster comprehension. It provides easy-to-understand visuals and text descriptions of how Type 1 diabetes affects the process of insulin production by the pancreas, which in turn affects glucose conversion to energy. Included is a side-by-side comparison of a normal body cell and a diabetic body cell, illustrating how they differ in converting glucose from food to energy.

The chart describes the importance of controlling the level of glucose in the blood and provides the main techniques for doing so. It lists risk factors and symptoms of short-term complications such as hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and ketoacidosis. It also describes and provides images of the long-term complications within the body of Type 1 diabetes.

This study guide includes chapter overviews, key terms, and learning objectives as well as case studies and a range of practice exercises—matching, multiple-choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, and short answer. Readers will also learn to develop nursing care plans and patient teaching plans and explore nursing care priorities for clinical and community settings.
