From the experts at the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN), comes the definitive resource on administering quality nursing care to critically ill pediatric patients. The 2nd edition has been updated to reflect the current state of pediatric critical care nursing practice and 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. Using a systems-based approach for quick and easy reference, this authoritative resource covers developmental anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology and defining characteristics of common pediatric disorders, clinical assessment, relevant pharmacology, monitoring and diagnostic testing, and therapeutic procedures. Disease coverage includes essential pathophysiology, etiology and risk factors, signs and symptoms, nursing and collaborative management, and complications.

Core Curriculum for Pediatric Critical Care Nursing, 2e PDF

This book is packed with information for pediatric critical care RN's. I'm using it to study for my CCRN and will continue to use it on a daily basis at work. I feel that any nurse in the pediatric field could use this book as a reference.

By SavvyRN

I think this book is hard to follow. I don't think it helps you pass the test. I found the Pediatric CCRN review by A. Brorsen much more helpful & the online testing was great.
