It provides a foundation in child development and health promotion, and covers specific health problems - organized by age groups and body systems, so you can individualize care at the appropriate level for each child. A streamlined approach, superior illustrations, and a full-color design make it easy to find and understand key nursing information.
- A family focus emphasizes 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.
