Designed to allow any nurse to deliver safe and effective care, basic principles and emergency protocols enable action to be taken in any setting and without expert assistance. Core content includes assessment; management; and advice to the family; with sections on recognition of deviations from the norm; the interpretation of clinical findings and investigations; and measures to promote successful care practice. Further key topics include normal growth and development, religion, culture and spirituality, professional issues, pain, palliative care and a separate section on pediatric emergencies.

So you can find the information you need without delay, the book is clearly laid out with one topic per page, and written in an easily readable note-based style.
