Children's nursing - Linda McQuaid

At last! A new Churchill Livingstone core textbook for the 'Children' branch of the Project 2000 nursing curriculum. The approach to the nursing of children has undergone a quiet revolution in the past 10 years, culminating in the development of the new curriculum for the P2000 branch course. This book is the product of that curriculum development, and is designed for use by students and registered nurses opting for this branch. Registered nurses 'converting' to become children's nurses will also use thisbook. The text adopts the new holistic approach to caring for the whole child, including more information on normal child development, the role of the family. This approach is combined with a very practical and comprehensive section on caring for the sickchild. The text is set out in the same attractive and user-friendly way as 'Common Foundation Studies in Nursing', which has proved highly accessible to, and popular with students and teachers alike. The text is research-based, cites references and gives rationales for care - reflecting the contemporary drive to underpin nursing skills academically.
