Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Patricia Gonce Morton, PhD, RN, ACNP-BC, FAAN (University of Utah College of Nursing)
Description: Offering an interprofessional perspective, this book equips the interprofessional team with essential information to assess and manage children with acute disorders in a safe, competent, and confident manner. Information is based on pathophysiological and psychosocial principles and integrates the most recent evidence to guide care. It is edited by four expert clinicians with extensive experience in the care of acutely ill pediatric patients and represents the work of over 250 contributors from around the world including nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, pharmacists, physicians, safety and quality officers, registered dieticians, physician assistants, risk officers, educators, lawyers, public health experts, psychologists, and child life specialists. These contributors have extensive education and expertise in the field of pediatric care and are seen as recognized experts in the field. This second edition is an excellent update of the 2011 first edition.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide the interprofessional team with the latest evidence to guide their clinical practice when caring for children with acute illnesses as well as strategies for working with families of children. The book meets these important goals and will serve as an excellent resource for those caring for acutely ill children.
Audience: Although targeted mainly at clinicians, this excellent book will be of value to all members of the interprofessional team involved in the care of acutely ill children and their families.
Features: Divided into seven parts, the book is composed of 54 chapters and concludes with a helpful index. Part one contains six chapters focusing on interprofessional care. The 14 chapters in part two address the best approach to the pediatric patient and family. In part three, 18 chapters deliver key content about selected disorders and their management. Part four has one chapter concentrating on emergency preparedness. In part five, 12 chapters describe specific medical procedures. The one chapter in part six discusses laboratory values. The two chapters in the final section, part seven, focus on learning and evaluation. The chapters that cover acute pediatric disorders include a review of physiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, etiology, presentation, differential diagnosis, diagnostic studies, plan of care, disposition, and discharge planning. The latest evidence-based information has been added throughout this second edition to enable clinicians to provide the most up-to-date care for pediatric patients in acute, inpatient, emergency, transport, and critical care settings. The contributors address the latest evidence that guides clinical practice in pediatric acute care from an interprofessional, collaborative perspective. The Interprofessional Education Collaborative Core Competencies developed in 2016 are integrated throughout the book to promote the professional skills needed for an effective interprofessional collaborative team. Color illustrations, photographs, and flow charts enhance learning and promote ease of understanding. An extensive number of tables are incorporated in all chapters that help summarize and highlight key information. Purchasers of the book can access the publisher's Evolve website where they can find online case study exercises and simulation scenarios.
Assessment: The authors and contributors have produced an excellent, useful book that addresses a wide variety of issues in the interprofessional care of acutely ill children. A second edition is warranted to present information based on the most recent evidence and updated national standards. Other pediatric acute care books on the market focus mainly on care of the patient in the intensive care unit and are geared either toward a physician or a nurse audience. This book is the only comprehensive acute care pediatric book, and it is unique in its interprofessional approach.
