Acknowledgments
The authors are dedicating this book to the Trinity Valley Community College Associate
Degree nursing students, faculty, and staff. Without the support and encouragement of the
faculty and staff this book would not be possible. The nursing students’ enquiring minds
and thirst for knowledge challenge us daily to continue our own learning. We would like
to thank Rob Martone for giving us the opportunity for our second book in the series and
our appreciation goes to Barbara Tchabovsky for her editorial assistance. Our sincere
thanks go to Glada Norris for sharing her incredible computer skills in the process of
preparing the book for the publisher.
I would like to dedicate this book to Ruth, Ann, and Jan, Sue and Marvin and all the
members of my family who have been by my side throughout the years. Always in my heart
is the memory of my husband, Bill, and my parents, T/Sgt. Leo and Nancy Hargrove, who
are the rocks on which my life is built. I also thank and acknowledge my sisters, Gail and
Debbie, my nephew Benjamin, and Paula for their support and encouragement. My chil-
dren, Teresa and Aaron, continue to amaze me as they enter their adulthood and remain
the most important people in my life. Congratulations Aaron on your graduation.

I would like to thank my extended family for the love and support they showed to a small
child and have never ceased to be there for me; Evelyn and Joe Young, Carolyn Wood,
Charles Wood, George Rogers, Evelyn Davis, Roger Cadenhead, Jodi Greenbaum, and
Stacy Shudak. I would like to dedicate this book to my husband, Larry, daughter Laurie and
son-in-law Todd, and son Larry Jr. and daughter-in-law Mai, and grandchildren Chris,
Ashley, Justin C., Justin A., Connor, and Sawyer without their support and patience the
book would not have been possible.
