The focus of Child, Adolescent and Family Nursing is on health promotion for infants, children and adolescents within a family context. It will provide students with an introduction to nursing and maternity care for children, adolescents and families within hospital and community settings. With its 'Inquiry based learning' approach, students will be expected to find answers to their own questions about child, adolescent and family nursing. This text will assist students to do this. The chapters in Child, Adolescent and Family Nursing have been compiled from a range of resources to reflect the contemporary content presented in the unit and as such provide a sound basis for further research.
