Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. The skills required by children's nurses
are many and varied, and are undertaken in a variety of settings. Sick children are care for at home, in children's units and hospitals,
and sometimes in adult wards. In addition, children with disabilities may need nursing care while at special schools or in residential
settings. This book provides a clinical manual of common practices. The guidelines have been written specifically for children's nursing
by contributors from well-known children's units. The introductory section covers common concepts and the control of infection. In
addition, there are appendices on the use of play as a distraction, and on complementary therapies.
