Quick Reference for Pediatric Emergency Nursing

The only pocket-sized clinical reference just for pediatric emergency nursing, the "Quick Reference" is a primary resource for common to not-so-common pediatric emergency nursing presentations, nursing procedures, medications, treatments, and pearls.

The pocket reference is organized into seven accessible sections.

Section I: Quick Look-Up Reference includes an alphabetical resource of tables, charts, nomograms and algorithms.

Section II is a user-friendly growth and development table.

Section III: Selected Pediatric Emergencies is organized by body systems.

Section IV: Children with Special Needs; and Section V: Mental Health Issues in Children - cover topics unique to the practice of pediatric emergency nursing.

Section VI - focuses on prevention and parent education; and Section VII: Procedures for Pediatric Emergencies - provides information on necessary skills.

Meant to provide quick information in a user-friendly, modified outline format, the book is useful to nurses in both pediatric and adult emergency departments.
