Health maintenance and wellness is also emphasized, with separate chapters on pediatric health supervision, nutrition and safety.

Quick Reference to Child and Adolescent Forensics 
A Guide for Nurses and Other Health Care Professionals 
Muscari, Mary E. / Brown, Kathleen M.

 

Physical abuse can cause anything from minor injuries to permanent disabilities to death. Emotional trauma could result in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. Nurses and other health care professionals work with both victims and perpetrators, but have little education and resources for dealing with the everyday forensic issues of pediatric practice. This book is designed to serve as a quick resource for practicing emergency room nurses, pediatric critical care nurses, school nurses, nurse practitioners, and other health care providers. Student practitioners will also find the content helpful       and readily useable as a reference guide.
