Care Planning in Children and Young People's Nursing by Sonya Clarke

Develop a care program to meet a child’s individual needs with this essential guide

Even seemingly minor decisions can have a significant impact on the early development of a child, so it is essential for children to receive a carefully tailored program designed to meet the needs and concerns of each individual child.

The second edition of Care Planning in Children and Young People’s Nursing adds significant scope and material to the already vital first edition. Taking a child, young person and family-centred approach, it offers a comprehensive and accessible discussion of care planning with continuous reference to core principles and nursing values. This new edition continues to be a fundamental resource for the planning and execution of high-quality nursing care for children and young people.

Readers of the second edition will also find:

• Detailed case scenarios designed to cultivate discussion and produce greater competence
• Increased emphasis on the voices of children and young people
• In-depth discussion of care planning for specific conditions including new chapters on Sickle Cell Disease, Mental Health and Wellbeing of Children and Young People, Transition from Children’s to Adults’ Services, and more

Care Planning in Children and Young People’s Nursing is a must-have for children’s nurses or for any nursing professionals involved in the care of children and young people.
