This book is a practical guide to pediatric pain assessment and management for the advanced practice nurse and primary caregivers who are interested in caring for patients with pain, but whose care specialty is not pain management. For the nurses whose specialty is pain management, this text provides a quick pediatric reference of our knowledge and tools of our trade. Even though it is a ‘compact guide,’ this text is well referenced with current key position statements, clinical practice guidelines, and primary references of the latest pediatric pain management research.”–Pain Management Nursing
