Product Description
This new third edition covers conditions seen in the primary care of children, emphasizing prevention as well as management of problems from the nurse practitioner perspective. It begins with an overview of the status of children in the United States and a review of developmental theory, followed by guidelines on how to assess children and families. A significant portion of the text is devoted to issues of daily living that are a part of every child's growth and issues that could lead to health problems (nutrition, toilet training) unless appropriate guidance is given. Disease processes often encountered by the pediatric primary provider are addressed through discussions of assessment, differential diagnosis, management, and prevention.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! by D. Harris (Louisiana)

I purchased this book as a requirement for my PNP course. Needless to say, this book is not very helpful. It seems many very important topics extremely relevant to pediatric primary care are either not in the book or are very briefly mentioned. It is also not very detailed at all. I always have to read from other books to get a better comprehensive understanding of topics. Treatment options are also very vague if they are even listed. I can only hope the newer edition is much, much better.

I received the textbook exactly as ordered with prompt service. It is required for a course I am taking but will serve as a valuable resource in the future.
