Paediatric
nursing involves many different areas of practice and the cases in
this book reflect the full range from primary care/health promotion
through to critical care. The subjects covered include: anaemia, cardiac
problems, Down's syndrome, drug overdose and exposure, neck and spinal
injuries, eating disorders, poisoning, orthopaedic surgery, renal
disease, respiratory disease, physical abuse, burns, cancer, cystic
fibrosis, diabetes, infectious diseases, trauma, allergies, growth
and development, AIDS and HIV, asthma, otitis, and skin disorders.
The cases appear in random order reflecting real-life practice, and
vary in the degree of difficulty. The questions are integrated with
superb illustrations and/or diagrams and are followed by detailed
answers. The aim of the book is to educate as well as test knowledge,
and will be of use to all nurses involved in the care of paediatric
patients. |
