About the Book: Child Health Nursing
Child Health Nursing is written with this challenge in mind. It views
maternal-newborn and child health care not as two separate disciplines but as a

disciplines comprehensively but not redundantly. It is based on a philosophy of

combined course in maternal-newborn and child health, or for a curriculum in
which these courses are taught separately but integrated. It provides a
comprehensive, in-depth discussion
