Overview

Pediatric Primary Care: Practice Guidelines for Nurses, Second Edition is a convenient reference that presents the latest information on nutrition, growth and development, common childhood disorders, and well child care. Divided into three sections, the first includes history taking with a family seen for the first time, interval history, newborn rounding, and breastfeeding. Organized by body system and written in outline format, the second section helps readers locate information quickly. The third section explores medications used in pediatrics with common uses, availability, adverse effects, and nursing implications. In addition, the appendices offer useful growth charts, BMI, asthma guidelines, and fluoride dosing. Providing comprehensive coverage of diagnostic methods, management, and treatment modalities, Pediatric Primary Care: Practice Guidelines for Nurses, Second Edition is the ideal resource for nurse practitioners (NP), students, and nurses starting out in practice.
