About this book

Fundamentals of Children and Young People's Anatomy and Physiology
THIRD EDITION

The latest edition of an essential resource for nursing and healthcare students covering the anatomy and physiology of children and young people

Fundamentals of Children and Young People's Anatomy and Physiology, 3rd Edition contains the critical knowledge associated with anatomy and physiology required to provide safe and effective care to children and young people. Emphasising the application of evidence-based theory to practice, this comprehensive yet accessible textbook helps nursing and healthcare students understand how children's anatomical and physiological systems influence disease processes and treatment options differently than in adults. This third edition includes an expanded focus on ethnic minority communities and representation of gender and LGBTQI+ issues to ensure a more inclusive understanding of diversity in the population.

Readers will also find:

  • A collection of effective pedagogical tools designed to enhance learning, including chapter-specific learning objectives, clinical considerations, and self-assessment questions
  • Practical discussions with a focus on access to care, determinants of health, and health inequalities
  • Detailed considerations of the mental health of children and young people, and how it impacts their anatomy and physiology

This is the ideal book for nurses, nursing associates, healthcare assistants and allied health professionals, and those studying within those fields.
