Unique resource on medication administration to support students and nurses

This handy new guide offers concise and specific information for nurses on preparing and administering medications for children in Australia and New Zealand.

Unlike other medication administration textbooks, Paediatrics and Medications provides comprehensive information, tips and evidence-based strategies directly related to paediatric patients. Focusing on the 'how to' of safe medication administration for paediatric patients, this resource also includes a focus on health literacy considerations, techniques in play and other unique elements specifically related to children and their caregivers.

This book is perfect for students undertaking paediatric nursing units of study, and is also highly clinically relevant across broader nursing practice.

- Comprehensive text for effective and safe administration of medications to patients aged 1 month to 18 years

- Clearly presented and easy to follow - a great resource for all nurses who are new to paediatrics and for students on placement in paediatric units

- Strong focus on paediatric safety, child/carer education, communication and play, consent, consideration of patients from a range of backgrounds

- Takes a family-centred approach - considers the patient and their family/carers when administering medication

- Supports existing paediatric drug dosage resources such as AMH Children's Dosing Companion and the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne's Paediatric Injectable Guidelines

- Addresses paediatric nursing curriculum requirements and includes clinically relevant information to support lifelong learning and enhancement of critical thinking skills

Nurturing the Premature Infant: Developmental Intervention in the Neonatal Intensive Care Nursery
Traditionally, non-medical, developmental intervention with premature infants has been a controversial topic in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). However, a small but growing band of researchers have been pushing for the acceptance of alternative interventions, such as kangaroo care and massage therapy, that do not resort to surgical or other medical practices. Edward Goldson, a pediatrician at Children's Hospital in Colorado, has assembled the top researchers in the field to contribute to this comprehensive volume that deals with non-medical intervention with premature infants. <em>Nurturing the Premature Infant</em> is the first to combine the innovative research in this growing area and present it in a single volume. Not only will it be indispensable to professionals in the field, but it will also be of interest to parents of premature infants.

Oxford Handbook of Clinical Skills for Children's and Young People's Nursing
Children's nurses are faced with unique challenges when undertaking clinical skills, adapting their knowledge and practice for the physical and developmental age of their patients. The Oxford Handbook of Clinical Skills for Children's and Young People's Nursing is a practical guide to both the most basic and the increasingly complex elements of caring for the health needs of children and young people. Focusing on the key principles underpinning all elements of care, it provides a solid, evidence-based framework which practitioners can use to develop their clinical knowledge, skills, and attitudes. It systematically covers the body systems and the clinical skills relating to them, and includes additional tips and suggested courses of action when encountering difficulties with a procedure, with practical advice from current practitioners. Written by experienced children's nurses working either within clinical paediatric settings or as educators in the field, this handbook is an essential, quick, and reliable practice reference tool for any clinical setting.
