The leading text in pediatric nursing, Wong's Nursing Care of Infants and Children takes a unique, easy-to-understand developmental approach to describe the care of children at each age and stage of development. Childhood diseases and disorders are organized by age groups and body systems, and described through the nursing process framework. This edition includes updates on topics such as the new CPR guidelines, immunizations, and pain assessment and management. Extensively illustrated, this bestseller provides students with an evidence-based, clinical perspective that shows how the quality of nursing care can impact quality patient outcomes.
