Everything about understanding internal medicine patients!
"Internal Medicine Patient Understanding" contains the "A to Z of Understanding Internal Medicine Patients" for new nurses who are having difficulties working in the internal medicine ward.
A guidebook filled with practical knowledge, case-by-case situation management, and handover tips.

'Part 1 Respiratory, Part 2 Digestive, Part 3 Circulatory, Part 4 Nephrology, Part 5 Hematology and Oncology, Part 6 Endocrine'
It contains vivid and diverse cases that can be seen in an actual internal medicine ward.

We have included medical records, prescriptions, situational responses, and handover methods for various internal medicine patient cases in each department.

Part 7 provides a realistic description of essential situations in the internal medicine ward.


Everyone has a hard time at first.
Don't blame yourself too much and don't be hard on yourself.
I hope your start is not difficult or tiring.
I hope to narrow the gap between theory and practice, even if only a little, by writing it as simply as possible.

* Recommended in these situations:

· A prospective nurse about to join the internal medicine ward
· Nurses who have difficulty understanding various internal medicine patients
· Nurses who are curious about the numerous internal medicine examinations and treatments
· Nurses who have difficulty determining nursing task priorities
· Nurses who are not new but feel they need to study more
· Student nurses preparing case studies after internal medicine ward practice
