Pediatric nursing

This textbook covers the care of children from infancy through childhood, written for nursing students and practitioners. It opens with an introduction to child health and the principles of pediatric nursing, then looks at prevention, including immunization and nutrition, and at the newborn and the stages of growth and development. Later sections examine common illnesses and conditions affecting the body systems, from breathing and digestion to the heart, kidneys, nervous system and skin, along with endocrine, sensory and musculoskeletal problems. The book finishes with children who have disabilities and the wider world of child welfare.
