Search and Results
Enhanced search returns a list
of results containing the
search term and number of
results. Results are
categorized by source
(monographs, by type; patient
handouts, MEDLINE, and
National Guidelines).
Search entire site or by category (drugs,
books, evidenced-based nursing, journals,
guidelines, patient education, clinical
updates, images and news). Advanced
Search allows query with a focus
(diagnosis, treatment, etiology,
prognosis, or any).
LA provides more specialized queries, which provides
a more successful search.
Format

monograph
Images, cross links to relevant
content are included at the
menu at the right as well as

body.

journal formatted differently. 46 diseases

Mosby’s creates a more difficult user experience for
nurses at the point of care.
Users don’t always know where to look to find the
information they need in MNC. In LA, there’s no
searching through long textbook articles or
complicated chains to get to the relevant
information. In seconds you see what you’re looking
for.
LA has consistent use of terms across all topic areas.
This means that the most medically acceptable
terminology is used across topic areas, for example,
acute respiratory distress syndrome, the more
medically accepted term, is used in all topic areas
instead of a mix of acute respiratory distress
syndrome and adult respiratory distress syndrome.
