Pediatric Nursing: A Case-Based Approach
Gannon Tagher, Lisa Knapp · 2nd Edition · ISBN 9781975209063 · Wolters Kluwer
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Pediatric Nursing: A Case-Based Approach (2nd Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 35 chapters.
Overview
Pediatric Nursing: A Case-Based Approach (2nd Edition) by Gannon Tagher and Lisa Knapp teaches pediatric nursing through realistic patient cases — children like Chip Jones with bronchiolitis or Sophia Carter with type 1 diabetes — alongside developmental care and system-based alterations. This study guide is built to follow it chapter by chapter, so you review in the same order your professor teaches: the unfolding case studies first, then care across developmental stages from newborn to adolescent, then alterations in respiratory, cardiac, neurological, gastrointestinal, hematological, musculoskeletal, endocrine, and other body systems, plus oncological disorders, genetic conditions, and pediatric emergencies. It pulls out the priority assessments, must-know nursing interventions, and the clinical reasoning the cases are designed to build, so you can review high-yield material efficiently for exams. It is an independent, aligned study companion — not the textbook itself and not a copy of its content.
Aligned with undergraduate pediatric nursing courses and written in an NCLEX-RN style, with priorities and rationales that mirror how pediatric content is tested on course exams and the licensure exam.
