AACN Core Curriculum for Pediatric High Acuity, Progressive, and
Critical Care, Third Edition, provides content required to deliver
the best care for critically ill or injured children. As acuity
increases in all inpatient departments and the practice of
pediatric critical care expands beyond the acute phase of illness
or injury, knowledge of pediatric critical care is more essential
than ever. Pediatric acute and critical care nurses find themselves
handling not only their patients, but care of their families and
management of an interprofessional team of caregivers. With
emphasis on evidence-based care and professionalism, this essential
resource captures the professional role of the pediatric critical
care nurse and the nurse's contributions to the process of
continuous quality improvement. Ideal for pediatric critical care
and acute care nurses, high acuity/critical care courses, and
continuing education, AACN Core Curriculum for Pediatric High
Acuity, Progressive, and Critical Care, Third Edition, contains
core AACN guidelines for the highest quality nursing practice. The
text covers anatomic, physiologic, cognitive, and psychosocial
changes that occur throughout the pediatric lifespan. Chapters are
systems focused and review developmental anatomy and physiology,
clinical assessment, pharmacology, diagnostic tests, and
therapeutic procedures. For each type of disease and injury,
information is provided on pathophysiology, etiology, risk factors,
signs and symptoms, nursing and collaborative interprofessional
management, and complications. New to the Third Edition: Updated to
