Thank you to all the nursing students, nursing faculty, and nursing colleagues we have had the privilege to work with during our careers. We want to thank Robert Martone for his vision and support, who was there when our writing career started and has been with us every step of the way. Our thanks to computer extraordinaire Glada Norris, who fixes our mistakes, makes the questions look “pretty,” and is responsible for making this book possible. Thank you to Kathryn McAfee who codes all the questions, leaving us time to write the questions. I want to thank all my friends for love, support, and prayers as I battled ovarian cancer this last year. Thanks to aunts, uncles, and cousins, my Los Angeles friends, my Trinity Valley Community College friends, my Texas friends, my Hawaiian friends, and the Lee girls. My thanks to my sisters Gail and Debbie, my nephew Ben, and Paula who brought me home and cared for me. I thank my children Teresa and Aaron for making me want to get up every day and fight the fight. As always, I dedicate this book to my parents, T/Sgt Leo R. Hargrove and Nancy, who made me believe I can do anything. I am an ovarian cancer survivor. —RAY A. HARGROVE-HUTTEL (This was Ray’s dedication. Ray lost her battle with cancer on December 23, 2012. She is much loved and greatly missed. -Kathy Colgrove) I would like to dedicate this book to the memory of my mother, Mary Cadenhead, and grandmother, Elsie Rogers. They always told me I could accomplish anything I wanted to accomplish. I would also like to dedicate this book to my husband, Larry, children, Laurie and Todd and Larry Jr. and Mai, and grandchildren, Chris, Ashley, Justin C., Justin A., Connor, Sawyer, and Carson—without their support and patience the book would not have been possible. —KATHRYN CADENHEAD COLGROVE v Debra Bailey, RN, PhD candidate, FNP, CDE Associate Professor of Nursing, Department Head Health Sciences Colorado Mesa University Grand Junction, Colorado Patricia A.
