Publisher's Synopsis
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 this book is to educate as well as test knowledge, and it will be of use to all nurses involved in the care of paediatric patients.
