Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A practical introduction to the psychology of nursing children, for student nurses, and qualified staff. The author identifies the developmental perspective that needs to be taken into consideration and also the children's emotional and social needs. Working with and including the parents and family in the child's treatment is a critical part of nursing children, and this book emphasises how nurses can facilitate the natural caring processes of family life.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 221-230) and index.
