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 students 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.
