Wong's Nursing Care of Infants and Children

Wong's Nursing Care of Infants and Children, 12th Edition, authored by Marilyn J. Hockenberry and published by Elsevier UK, is a pediatric nursing textbook designed for nursing students and pediatric nurses. This reference organizes pediatric health promotion and health problems using a family-centered model through every age and stage of child development.

The text structures pediatric nursing coverage around developmental milestones, clinical procedures, and emergency readiness. Nursing Care Guidelines boxes supply step-by-step instructions when executing interventions for various clinical conditions. When rapid responses are required, Emergency Treatment boxes offer quick reference instructions to guide care in critical situations.

To address the emotional and physical impact of medical procedures, dedicated Atraumatic Care boxes provide actionable techniques to manage pain, relieve stress, reduce discomfort, and promote self-esteem in young patients. By integrating developmental knowledge with procedural guidance, this 1,472-page resource supports pediatric nurses and nursing students in providing structured pediatric care.
