Mosby's Pediatric Nursing Reference

Organized alphabetically, and by medical diagnosis and procedure name, this manual presents nursing care for 84 commonly encountered childhood diseases, surgical interventions, and diagnostic procedures. Most content is presented in tables or bulleted lists for practical on-the-spot reference. A new chapter on poisoning discusses proper nursing care for these common accidents, and another new chapter on respiratory syncytial virus is included. Updated immunization schedules provide current information on recommended guidelines for paediatric care. Statistics, demographics, drug information and procedures are also revised and updated.
