Essentials of Pediatric Nursing, 4th Edition, helps students develop the clinical reasoning capability to confidently meet the unique challenges of caring for children and their families in a wide variety of healthcare settings. Utilizing the nursing process, a concise, concept-based approach makes relevant information accessible and builds students’ understanding progressively from concept to application. Rather than repeating medical-surgical content previously mastered, the text builds upon students’ prior knowledge, establishing an understanding of broad concepts before cultivating students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Covering a wide scope of relevant topics with an emphasis on common issues and pediatric-specific content, Essentials of Pediatric Nursing focuses on conceptual learning to help you make the most of your class time and ensure that your students are equipped for a successful career in pediatric nursing care. This updated edition introduces new Unfolding Case Studies and Clinical Reasoning Alerts that encourage discussion and clinical decision-making.
