Product Description
From its superior illustrations and striking full-color design to its abundant special features, it's easy to see why it's been the #1 pediatric nursing text for over 20 years. It provides readers with the essential information they need to deliver safe and accurate care. Divided into two logical parts, the first half of the book focuses on child development and health promotion by age group and lays the foundation for the second half of the book which addresses specific health problems organized by body systems.
- Text focuses on the family throughout by emphasizing the role and influence of the family in health and illness

I shouldn't be surprised that Amazon came through again! While many independents do a good job, I can always count on Amazon to process my order quickly and have red carpet treatment on every order!
Thanks AMAZON!

This item was well priced, in good condition and available. The shipping was free with Super Ship Saver, but a little slower than usual which is okay since it is part of the free deal.

The book I ordered came very quickly, was tightly wrapped, and was clean without any damages from transportation or previous use. The book had no writing or highlighting in it and included the CD as promised.
