Description: Pediatric Nursing: Caring for Children and Their Families, Second Edition, is a dynamic and insightful presentation of caring for pediatric clients. The authors embrace a holistic and family-centered approach to the care and nurturing of children in all states along the health-illness continuum, from healthy growth and development milestones to illness states and chronic conditions. All nursing care is framed within a family context, underscoring the need to view the child not just as an individual, but as a member of a larger family unit.
