Child Health Nursing is a comprehensive survey of family-centered pediatric nursing care. It promotes excellence in nursing care for infants, children and adolescents, in hospitals and in the community. The authors focus on partnering with families to adapt care plans for children based on their age, health status, and social and cultural influences, as well as any chronic health conditions they may be managing.

The 3rd Edition explores how modern nursing is affected by healthcare reforms, such as electronic health records and a focus on prevention. It draws on the latest recommendations of NANDA International diagnoses, Nursing Intervention Classifications, Nursing Outcomes Classifications, Healthy People 2020 and American Association of Colleges of Nursing.
