Description

The skills required by children�s nurses are many and varied, and are undertaken in a variety of settings. This book provides a clinical manual of common practices. Each practice is research-based and presented in a common format which covers: Objectives, Rationale, Factors to note, Guidelines, Positioning, Equipment, Method, Special observations and possible complications, and References and further reading. The guidelines have been written specifically for children�s nursing by contributors from well-known children�s units. They are not simply adaptations from adult practices and therefore recognise the unique differences between adult and children�s nursing. The introductory section covers common concepts and infection control. There are also appendices on the use of play as a distraction, and on complementary therapies.Typham this is the title: Practices in Children’s Nursing 3rd Edition
