Produktbeschreibung
This new addition to the Fast Facts series delivers the core information for orienting novice nurses or nursing students to the challenging field of pediatric nursing. Pocket-sized and formatted for quick access to the knowledge a pediatric nurse needs daily, it is packed with concise information on both disease processes and well child care, and offers the clinical advice that comes from years of experience. A particularly helpful feature is frequently used terminology that is referenced in the index for rapid access of crucial information. Importantly, the guide offers valuable suggestions for how to best communicate and work with children using age-appropriate techniques. Seasoned pediatric nurses describe how to assist compassionately and efficiently with painful procedures that can be emotionally taxing for all involved. They share proven and time-tested tips for easing trauma for both child and parent. Chapters feature an introduction and key chapter objectives, followed by short paragraphs and bulleted information organized according to body systems. They focus on the most commonly seen illnesses within each system and include, for each diagnosis, an easy-to-understand description, disease manifestations, diagnostic criteria, and interventions. Fast Facts in a Nutshell provide highlighted, critical information and key clinical tips that can be put to work immediately.
