Description

For Pediatric Nursing courses in associate and baccalaureate degree programs.

Written for today's nurse, this book explores the conditions and nursing interventions for health conditions affecting children, adolescents and their families. Emphasizing research and evidence-based practice, it organizes material by body system instead of developmental stage, allowing faculty to teach pediatrics in integrated courses/short courses without redundancy. This edition includes a new chapter on genetic and genomic influences, more emphasis on culturally competent care, and new features that emphasize clinical reasoning and health promotion. Designed to help students bridge the gap between classroom and clinical situations, the book emphasizes health promotion and maintenance, growth and development, and family-centered care.

• Illustrates the anatomic and physiologic differences between children and adults.

Strong emphasis on family-centered care-see Chapter 2 and Families Want to Know sections.

• Discusses how to involve the family in the child's care and provides a significant teaching piece that shows the type of information nurses need to provide to families. 

Integration of research, critical thinking, clinical reasoning and evidence-based practice-see Evidence-Based Practice boxes, Critical Thinking questions and Research boxes.

• Offers quick summaries of recent nursing research, followed by a question that asks students to apply the research to their own critical thinking. 

Features that emphasize the nursing process and include:

• Focus on . . . Body System feature presents a quick review of the anatomy and physiology of that system followed by an overview of pediatric differences between anatomy and physiology at various ages.
• Clinical Manifestation features present the etiology, clinical presentation, and often the clinical therapy for selected conditions to help students recognize these signs when they see them in clinical settings.
• Pathophysiology Illustrated visually explains the pathophysiology of certain conditions in a format that enhances understanding and application.
• Culture feature offers diverse perspectives and highlights cultural variations that impact nursing care.
• Complementary Therapy boxes heighten awareness of therapies that may be connected with cultural groups, beliefs, or practices, thus influencing health care.
• Nursing Care Plans include NIC and NOC criteria to help students apply nursing care to specific conditions.
• Community Care boxes point out issues nurses face outside of the hospital setting.
• Law and Ethics  boxes provide brief discussions about issues challenging nurses today.
