<br/><br/> This pediatric nursing text provides comprehensive coverage of everything you need to know about family-centered care of children in both health and illness. Structured developmentally to emphasize the importance of the child's age in diagnosis and treatment. Explores all aspects of child health and development using a nursing process framework. Common problems are placed with the age group during which they are most likely to appear for easier reference and a more comprehensive treatment of the developmental stages. Each section discussing alterations of a body system provides a thorough review of the anatomy and physiology of that system. Numerous nursing care plans and child and family teaching plans give examples of planning for the care of the child and instructing the parents and child on proper health promotion and maintenance.
