Description
Kyle (Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences) is identified as the author of this reference, but 12 contributors are also identified as are about 50 reviewers; so the volume is the result of their collaborative efforts, supported by an editorial and design staff responsible for the numerous illustrations and photos, boxed features, and pedagogical tools (learning objectives, key terms, end-of-chapter exercises, references).

The introductory unit addressing how pediatric nursing differs from care of the adult is followed by units on child development, assessment and pain management, and specific classes of disorders. A student resource CD-ROM is included. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
