Textbook of Child Health Nursing, 2/E for BSc and MSc Nursing Students | INC Syllabus Pediatric Nursing Guide with IMNCI Strategy, Growth Charts and Care Plans

Textbook of Child Health Nursing, 2nd Edition is a comprehensive, INC-syllabus-aligned nursing textbook that prepares nursing students to combine sound scientific knowledge with responsible, technologically informed caring practice in child health. The book is structured across 5 sections and 27 chapters: Current Trends and Issues in Child Health Nursing, IMNCI Strategy, Health Deviations, Care of Newborn and Critically Ill Child, and Behavioral and Social Pediatrics. Chapters 10-21 cover pediatric health deviations using a consistent system-wise format that reduces repetition and builds a transferable study pattern: each chapter opens with variations in pediatric anatomy and physiology, moves through common medical interventions and a nursing process overview specific to that system, then addresses individual disorders with pathophysiology, nursing assessment, nursing management and special considerations - spanning respiratory, neurological, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, renal, neoplastic, communicable, hematological, endocrine, eye/ear and integumentary conditions. A dedicated Section 2 walks through the Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illnesses (IMNCI) strategy, including outpatient management protocols for infants up to 2 months and children from 2 months to 5 years. Content is organized with bulleted points, numbered age-wise reference tables (growth parameters, anthropometric measurements, developmental milestones), and figures wherever necessary to support quick classroom and clinical reference. Who This Book Is For: BSc Nursing Students: use it as the core INC-syllabus textbook for the Child Health (Pediatric) Nursing course, from growth and development through system-wise health deviations and IMNCI. MSc Nursing Students: draw on its depth in pathophysiology, nursing process and pediatric research-informed content for postgraduate-level study, as the book is explicitly prepared for both UG and PG nursing students. Nursing Tutors and Educators: use the structured, system-wise chapter format to plan lessons and prepare students for examinations. Practicing Nurses: keep it on the ward as a quick-reference guide for pediatric disorder management, IMNCI protocols and developmental milestone tables. Why This Book Helps: Structures a wide subject into a repeatable pattern: the same anatomy-to-management sequence in every health-deviation chapter cuts study time and builds confidence across unfamiliar systems. Bridges classroom and clinical practice: IMNCI outpatient management protocols translate directly into real assessment-and-treatment decisions for sick infants and children. Speeds up milestone and growth-parameter recall: age-wise tables for anthropometric measurements and developmental milestones remove the need to hunt across multiple references. Covers the full breadth of the INC syllabus in one volume: from ethical and legal issues in pediatric care to newborn/critical care and behavioral-social pediatrics, reducing reliance on multiple textbooks. Supports exam preparation directly: the chapter structure and figures are built by a nursing educator with the explicit aim of making the content easy to teach and revise. Key Features: 5 sections and 27 chapters covering the complete INC Child Health Nursing syllabus for undergraduate and postgraduate nursing students. A full IMNCI Strategy section with outpatient management protocols for infants up to 2 months and children 2 months-5 years, plus immunization status guidance. System-wise health-deviation chapters (Chapters 10-21) addressing pathophysiology, nursing assessment and nursing management for each major pediatric system. Numbered reference tables for growth parameters, anthropometric measurements, and gross motor, fine motor and language developmental milestones by age. Chapters illustrated with figures wherever necessary, with a dedicated chapter on cultural, traditional, ethical and legal issues in pediatric care.
