Nursing Care of the Pediatric Neurosurgery Patient  serves as a detailed reference for all nurses caring for children with neurosurgical problems. Staff nurses (and student nurses) working in clinics, PICU, pediatrics, operating rooms, post-anesthesia care unit, emergency department and radiology) will benefit from the information presented in this book.The explanations of pathophysiology, anatomy, radiodiagnostic testing and treatment options for each neurosurgical diagnosis will help them to understand the rationale behind the nursing care. Presenting symptoms and findings on neurological examination and history will  enable nurses to identify normal signs.  Each chapter  includes information on patient and family education and will give helpful guidelines. There is no reference available that provides this type of specific information and there has been a need within the pediatric neurosurgery community for this type of information for years.
