The health of babies, children and young people is fundamentally different to that of adults, so their health care must reflect their unique needs and respectfully engage their parents, family members and communities. Paediatric Nursing in Australia and New Zealand introduces nursing students to the care of infants, young children, children, young people and their families in a range of clinical and community settings across Australasia. The third edition has been expanded to include content on paediatric nursing in New Zealand and includes an increased focus on families. Chapters new to this edition cover the health services available for Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Maori children, the transition into parenthood for new families, children’s sleep patterns and behaviour, and paediatric health in school settings. Case studies and reflective questions throughout introduce students to scenarios they will encounter throughout their career and encourage them to develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Written by an expert team of nurses and nursing academics, Paediatric Nursing in Australia and New Zealand is an essential resource that equips future nurses with the knowledge and skills to provide evidence-based care to babies, children and their families. •
