This review is from: Nursing Care of the Child With Cancer: Association of Pediatric Oncology Nurses (Hardcover)
This book covers the issue of pediatric oncology from the history of cancer in general and the evolution of pediatric oncology as a specialty, through each major disease course. Under each major disease course you will find information on treatment modalities utilized for a particular disease and the nursing issues involved in all phases of the treatment. It covers pychosocial issues through all phases of development and how to address these issues. Death and dying are discussed and the tender approaches needed to ease this very difficult time for the patient and family. For the long term survivors, the issues of late effects are brought to light. It is written is a clear, understandable format making for easy reading. It is a valuable resource for those pediatric oncology nurses studying for the certification exam.
