Introductory Pediatric Nursing - With Instructor's Manual (5 Rev ed)

Organized by a developmental approach, this text covers growth and development, as well as the prevention and treatment of childhood health problems.

Each chapter features objectives, an outline and key terms, along with a case study that's relevant to the topic at hand.

A nursing process format is used in discussing both growth and development and disease processes throughout the text.

Diverse care settings and trends receive focused attention, and a glossary, care plans and family teaching boxes help the reader to apply both theory and clinical material.

New to this edition are: five new chapters; personal glimpses; communication boxes; and key concepts.
