Book description
Caring for Children with Special Healthcare Needs and Their
Families: A Handbook for Healthcare Professionals provides a
guide for addressing the challenges of providing optimal general and
routine care for the special needs population. More than just caring
for the patients, the text stresses the importance of caring for their
families as well.
The book begins with chapters on common aspects of this population,
including physical or sensory disabilities and developmental and
learning disabilities. Subsequent chapters expound on more specific
topics related to communication, mobility, emotional issues, quality
of life, and end-of-life.
Caring for Children with Special Healthcare Needs and Their Families
is a must-have book for family and pediatric nurse practitioners,
registered nurses, healthcare technicians, physician assistants and
social services professionals who see these patients regularly as part
of their daily patient load.
