The all-in-one resource for maternal-newborn and pediatric nursing skills

Designed for both the nursing student and the practitioner, Clinical Skills Manual for Maternity and Pediatric Nursing can serve as both a text companion and an essential reference for step-by-step procedures in clinical settings. Showcasing more than 150 skills commonly performed on childbearing women, newborns, and children, this portable reference guides the reader through protective methods, pain assessment and management, administration of medicine and irrigation, physical assessment, and other information crucial to nurses using full-color photographs and rationales. Throughout the manual, boxes and tables highlight important safety issues, growth and development considerations, teaching for families, and clinical tips. Appendices provide information on growth grids and calculation of body surface area for medication administration.

Principles of Pediatric Nursing 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 you visualize how to care for children, in ways that both mirror and diverge from care for adult patients.

The 8th Edition includes Healthy People 2030 objectives, a new Focus on Genetics feature, and a new QSEN Concept feature demonstrating how QSEN competencies can be applied to clinical practice.
