"This primary 'essentials textbook' is intended specifically as the course text for the standard, increasingly shortened Pediatrics course in Associate Degree programs. The book covers those topics of importance that are addressed in ADN programs without providing the unnecessary detail that is seen in virtually all essentials pediatrics texts on the market today. A companion text by Susan Scott-Ricci--Essentials of Maternity, Newborn, and Women's Health Nursing--can serve as the text for the Maternity course in ADN programs."--Publisher description
