Mandleco (nursing, Brigham Young University) provides detailed instructions for basic and advanced procedures for pediatric patients in this wire-spiral bound reference for nurses and students. Procedures are grouped in categories of principles of care, general procedures, health assessment, specimen collection, diagnostic tests, and medication administration, and are also grouped by body system. Each procedure description includes an equipment list, instructions, documentation guidelines, and estimated completion time, and many are illustrated with b&w photos or drawings.
