Includes bibliographical references and index.

"This textbook is primarily aimed at the field of children's nursing. It is developed to support pre-registration programs at both undergraduate and postgraduate, which leads to registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as a children's nurse. It also aims to meet the continuing professional development educational needs for those who continue the path of lifelong learning and those recently qualified as a children's nurse. It should also be an invaluable resource for the registered nurse (RN), especially when undertaking the valuable role of student support and assessment - practice supervisor and practice assessor. This text is richly designed with diagrams and photographs to inform the practice of care planning through the report of current research, best available evidence, policy, and education, which reflects both the uniqueness and diversity of contemporary children's nursing. The overall intention is that this second book will again become a core text within children's nursing curricula and serve as a guide when teaching the theoretical foundation and clinical skill of care planning at each stage of the process. Furthermore, it will become an innovative resource for nursing students, educators, practitioners, researchers, and carers"-- Provided by publisher.
