• ISBN: 9781558102606
• PUB# 9781558102606

Co-published with the Society for Pediatric Nurses, the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners

This book reflects the cumulative work of two previous iterations and includes their complete text. It is a foundational volume that articulates the essentials of this specialty, its accountabilities and activities - the who, what, when, where, and how of its practice - for both specialists and generalists. The 16 standards themselves - those by which all nurses in this specialty practice and have their practice competencies measured and evaluated - are grounded in the perspectives and priorities of pediatric nursing and form the core of the book. The book's extensive scope of practice discussion - of its characteristics, development and trends, education and training, its practice environments and settings, its general and specialized practice roles, its ethical and conceptual bases - lends a broad context for understanding and using these standards.

Although this reference and guide is mainly for practicing nurses and nursing faculty and students, Pediatric Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice is also an essential source document for other pediatric specialists, healthcare providers, researchers, and scholars.
