International media company Pearson, US, has received Book of the Year honours from the American Journal of Nursing (AJN), in recognition of two titles that explore the nursing specialties of pediatrics and gerontology. The AJN claims to be the oldest and largest circulating, broad-based nursing journal. The titles - Child Health Nursing: Partnering with Children and Families and Gerontological Nursing - are market-leading resources in the field of nursing, offering a practical, research-based approach to the issues currently facing the care of children and older persons.
Child Health Nursing: Partnering with Children and Families, 2nd edition, provides a comprehensive, reader-friendly reference for pediatric nurses. Written by leading nurse authors Jane W. Ball, Ruth C. Bindler and Kay J. Cowen, the publication simplifies the content of pediatric nursing into a user-friendly format that makes it easy for students to learn and professors to teach.
Gerontological Nursing 2nd edition, by Patricia A. Tabloski, is a research-based guide to caring for older patients. It presents information related to normal and pathological changes of aging, with an emphasis on the critical information that nurses need for assessment, diagnosis, planning and evaluating care outcomes for their older clients.
