Principles of Pediatric Nursing Caring for Children 7th Edition by Jane W. Ball

For pediatric nursing courses in associate and baccalaureate degree programs.
Help readers learn to think like nurses and visualize how to care for children
To prepare today’s students to begin thinking and acting like nurses, Principles of Pediatric Nursing, Seventh Edition presents a foundation of core pediatric nursing principles with an emphasis on growth and development, family-centered care, and health promotion and maintenance. Nursing students often bring an Adult Health mindset to Pediatric Nursing, which can obscure the special considerations needed to effectively care for children. Principles of Pediatric Nursing helps students visualize how to care for children and understand the ways caring for pediatric patients is similar to, and different from, adult patients.
