Pijn in de onderrug en het bekken, evenals bekkenbodemklachten worden vaak met zwangere vrouwen geassocieerd. Maar ook mannen en kinderen kunnen hiermee te maken krijgen, denk aan urineverlies of obstipatie.

Dit boek gaat over de betekenis en gevolgen van de invoering van de BIG-wet, de wet op de beroepen in de individuele gezondheidszorg. Het richt zich op verpleegkundigen en verzorgenden. Het doel van de wet, de titelbescherming, deskundigheid en opleidingseisen, voorbehouden handelingen en het tuchtrecht worden beschreven met het oog op juist deze twee beroepsgroepen. Door gebruik te maken van cases en citaten wordt de lezer geprikkeld om over bepaalde situaties zijn oordeel te vormen. Aan het eind van het boekje worden deze cases besproken. Het is door deze opzet en mede door het duidelijke taalgebruik een handzaam boekje voor de praktijk geworden.
