Summary

This leading pediatric nursing textbook owes its success to scrupulous accuracy, current research, and a highly readable style. The new edition, packed with full color, many special features, and the most comprehensive package available, maintains the high standards established by previous editions. A new chapter on community-based nursing care of children has been added to address this increasingly important health care arena. The first part of the book on child development and health promotion lays the foundation for understanding later chapters on specific health problems - organized by age groups and body systems. The nursing process is used to format major diseases, disorders, and conditions. Today's students will find the book's appearance highly appealing with superior illustrations and a beautiful full-color design throughout, making key information in the text easy to find. (Includes FREE CD-ROM and MERLIN website at:www.harcourthealth.com/Mosby/Wong/essentials/) Spanish version of 4th edition also available, ISBN: 84-8086-141-X
