Nursing Care of the Pediatric Neurosurgery Patient
Editors: C. Cartwright, D. Wallace
This new book serves as a detailed reference for all nurses caring for children with neurosurgical problems. Topics include pathophysiology, anatomy, radiodiagnostic testing and treatment options for each neurosurgical diagnosis; with each chapter providing helpful guidelines, and information on patient and family education. Symptoms and findings on neurological examination and history are also included. Although there has been a need within the pediatric neurosurgery community for this type of information for years, there is no other reference available that provides this type of specific information.
