This comprehensive text on paediatric health care uses an interdisciplinary approach to highlight the role of the nurse working with all members of the health-care team to meet the needs of children and their families in a variety of clinical practice settings. It discusses the health maintenance and promotion needs of children from infancy through adolescence across the continuum of care, focusing on normal child development, the promotion of health and paediatric challenges. Features include: "Care Paths" which summarize interdisciplinary plans of care for specific illnesses; "Teaching Internvention Plans" which summarize what the family needs to be told about a condition; case studies; nursing intervention charts which use the Nursing Intervention Categories to provide standardized, complete guidelines for nursing care; and Focused Health History, Focused Physical Assessment and Diagnostic Criteria tables for the assessment of information.
