N2  - System by system, Core Curriculum for Pediatric Critical Care Nursing explores the anatomic, physiologic, and cognitive/psychosocial changes that occur across the lifespan of a child and identifies the ways in which these changes are affected by specific health problems. For every body system, it investigates developmental anatomy and physiology, clinical assessment, pharmacology, diagnostic tests, and therapeutic procedures. Disease discussions include essential pathophysiology, etiology and risk factors, signs and symptoms, nursing and collaborative management, and complications. Core Curriculum for Pediatric Critical Care Nursing also provides thorough coverage of multisystem problems such as multiple trauma, toxicology, septic shock, and burns. Core Curriculum for Pediatric Critical Care Nursing is ideal for critical care courses, continuing education, and practical reference and can also help nurses prepare for pediatric CCRN certification exams
