Welcome toPromoting Health in Children/Young People: The Role of the Nurse. This is a practical textbook
designed for nurses working with children, young
people and their families. Other practitioners may
find it useful too, such as nursery nurses and teachers.
The book covers a wide range of health issues
within its 13 themes. Each theme contains a number of chapters, or simply one chapter. Each chapter
focuses on a key health issue, as well as different
teaching methods to promote the health of children/young people. Each chapter provides its own
references list, and some chapters provide details
of additional resources that the reader may find
useful.
Many different health issues have been presented in this book. Too many perhaps, but children/young people find themselves in all kinds of
situations, from minor health issues to much more
serious situations. All these health issues require
some kind of health promotion input. Nurses have
an important health promotion role to play in each
and every one of these situations
