Primary Well-Being: Case Studies for the Growing Child (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This book offers solutions on how to enhance the normal development of the well child incorporating complementary medicine. The primary care provider is the only healthcare professional to see every child (0-18) and their parent, and can assess the child's health and advise parents on how to provide a healthy environment and important practices to nurture healthy children.

The book provides realistic scenarios encountered by new nurse practitioners in their clinical training. It is structured in a question and answer framework to help practitioners critically think through the best practices to be implemented during the well child visit and develop a plan of action for the family. This book provides assessment and diagnostic criteria and tools and presents common developmental and behavioral issues for each age group. The book promotes the role of professional as advocate by making recommendations for broad social policies to help all children succeed.

It covers developmental care, and includes case study examples of diverse well-child care scenarios. ... The objectives are appropriate, but there are a variety of other resources on well-child care that cover this topic. ... The book is intended primarily for NP students as a 'teaching text' ... ."
