Nursing children and young people is increasingly complex requiring
nurses to apply their knowledge and skills to a wide scope of
illnesses and situations. The challenges to nurses to analyse,
reflect on different perspectives and then adapt practices to the
benefit of service users are reflected in this book. Each scenario
in this text is created based on real life cases and practice. The
23 cases connect knowledge with practice and guide you through the
anatomy and physiology and the physical and psychological responses
to stressors, which are then linked to intervention decisions.
Cases include: * Providing care for children and young people with
life-limiting conditions * Acutely ill children including those
with asthma, and an infant with pyrexia and febrile convulsions *
Long term conditions including diabetes, renal disease and the
transfer to adult services * Those who are critically ill such as a
child with typhoid fever and a toddler with a head injury *
Supporting emotional and mental health in anorexia and autistic
spectrum disorder * Promoting healthy lifestyles, considering
obesity and risky behaviour * Care for children with trauma,
including a child with a learning disability Remaining vigilant for
indicators of safeguarding concern, encouraging self-care, and
promoting mental resilience are all incorporated, with examples
from a range of care environments. Calculation exercises are
interspersed to keep these skills sharp. This Case Book is an ideal
learning resource, tailored to help nurses learn in a focused way
about practice and excel, whether on placements, in academic work,
or in professional practice. "Developed from a partnership between
a University Research Group and an NHS Trust, this practical
children's nursing case textbook bridges theory and practice by
presenting 23 case scenarios on complex, sensitive and difficult to
manage clinical situations in an accessible and user-friendly
manner. The inbuilt activities, calculation exercises, question and
answer format and extra resources make this an excellent
interactive resource for nurses to engage in critical thinking and
reflection about each case." Dr. Veronica Lambert, Senior Lecturer
Children's Nursing, Dublin City University, Ireland "This book will
be useful for nurses in the UK who work with children and families
in a variety of settings. Its format based on case studies and
'what would you do' and 'what do you need to do' scenarios will
make it a useful tool for teaching clinical care for children and
families." Professor Linda Shields, School of Nursing, Midwifery
and Indigenous Health, Charles Sturt University, Bathurst,
Australia "What Tony Long has achieved is to produce a textbook
with contributions from esteemed practicing children's nurses which
gives enhanced credibility to each of the case studies. Tony and
his colleagues have created these case studies to help children's
and young people's nurses fully understand the complexities of the
needs of both children and their families or carers during their
healthcare trajectory. The contributors to this textbook fully
appreciate that the specificity of knowledge and its application to
practice across the parameters of healthcare delivery and across
the life course healthcare journey of the child, from the neonatal
period through to adolescent transition to adult healthcare,
requires a specific knowledge source. This book reflects the
reality that children's nurses work in many areas from primary care
through to tertiary care, from neonatal intensive care through to
child and adolescent mental healthcare. Each of the case studies
provides a focal point for this knowledge source and each seeks to
illuminate good practice based on sound empirical evidence. The
burden of ill health in childhood can only be alleviated if the
nurses who deliver care to children and young people fully
understand the complexities of ill health across the age continuum.
This is because of what can happen during childhood, from
conception onwards, ranging from obesity, heart disease and mental
ill health, though to educational attainment and future economic
status. Professor Long and his colleagues are to be congratulated
in producing this new book which will address each of these cognate
areas but which also never forgets the primary mission of the
children's nurse which is to uphold their mantra of 'the child
first and always'." Alan Glasper, Emeritus Professor of children's
and young people's nursing at the University of Southampton, UK
