Description

The content of this course provides an overview of the nursing care of children from a child-centered perspective that views children as unique individuals rather than miniature adults. The focus of nursing care is on prevention of illness and promotion of health. A theoretical basis for performance of a pediatric physical and developmental assessment is included. Evidence-based practice is used in the development of nursing goals and interventions essential for the care of children and their families. These goals and interventions are discussed relational to different developmental levels, with various acute and chronic illnesses, and within a variety of settings.
