Synopsis

Accidents are the most common cause of death of children after the first year of life and a major cause of handicap and disability. Until recently, childhood accidents have been regarded as largely preventable and their treatment routine. This book, written mainly for nurses, covers the causes, treatment and prevention of childhood accidents. Without going into the detail found in textbooks, it traces the normal stages of development and identifies the type of accident that are likely to occur at various ages. Specific types of accident are considered, as are the general principles of their management and prevention. The nurse's contribution to childhood accident care is discussed in a variety of settings, including the community, the A and E department and the hospital ward to illustrate how prescribed care and management can be realized in practice.
