Essential reading for all student nurses on the child branch, as well as qualified paediatric nurses. It is also relevant to anyone assessing and planning care for an infant, child or young person on the ward, clinic or in the community. From fundamental care processes to advanced nursing skills Developing Practical Skills for Nursing Children and Young People and its companion website enable the reader to make the transition from learner to hands-on-nurse as smoothly as possible.
