Description :

Child Health Nursing is the result of a total revision of a previous text entitled Nursing Care of Children and Families, published in 1985 and by the same authors. The changing climate in paediatric nursing which is reflected in the education of paediatric nurses has caused the authors to include an enlarged section on preventative care and health education.
