Foreword
Planning and delivering high quality, expert care to infants, children, and young people is at the heart of nursing infants, children, and young people. In the first edition of their book, Sonya Clarke and Doris Corkin created an excellent resource for guiding nurses to acquire knowledge, reflect on their practice, appreciate key evidence, and develop their skills in care planning. In this second edition they build on their previous success but add breadth and depth to the content. Crucially in this edition, they incorporate the voice of children and young people as well as parents; this enhances the child and family-centred perspective evident throughout the chapters. This second edition presents a comprehensive and innovative exploration of care planning that addresses the key principles. It also uses detailed case scenarios to stimulate discussion and promote confidence and competence in planning care for infants, children, young people, and their families.
Nursing infants, children, and young people requires commitment, knowledge, and skills, and, as nurses, we are privileged to be part of their lives. Every act of nursing care impacts not only on us but also on the infants, children, young people, and their families and our colleagues. What we do, even in a seemingly mundane situation, can have short and long-term consequences for the child, so we need to make sure that we plan care in a way that enhances their well-being and experience. We need to make every act within our nursing care count; this requires multiple acts of connection and skilled communication. We need to tailor our care to each child’s individual context and needs; this requires us to listen and act on their concerns, perspectives and wishes. As nurses working with infants, children, and young people our work is made both more complex and rewarding as we also must consider the needs and concerns of their parents and weave these into child/person and family-centred care.
Nursing is a complex choreography and planning care is core to ensuring that our practice is the best it possibly can be. To do this well we need to draw on technical, theoretical, conceptual, and experiential knowledge as well as a portfolio of skills and personal and professional attributes.
This book is an indispensable resource for nursing students, nurse educators, practitioners, researchers, and carers. In this book the editors and contributors bring their extensive knowledge, experience, and expertise together, offering a clear, accessible, and informative resource for planning the care of infants, children, and young people. Each one of the 39 chapters is written by experts and leaders within their field. Each chapter informs, challenges, and promotes reflection and self-directed learning. The content helps to shape the readers’ understanding and appreciation of the topics addressed.
This book will be a wonderful companion across years of life-long learning.

Preface
Welcome to the second edition of Care Planning in Children and Young People’s Nursing. The editors and contributing authors address a selection of the most common concerns that arise when planning care for infants, children, and young people within the hospital and community setting. Discussion within each chapter and scenario will highlight that effective care planning needs to be individualised, yet collaborative, negotiated in partnership with the child or young person and their family to meet their many needs. It is hoped the title provides a clear, detailed, and comprehensive insight into children’s nursing and that this text is appropriate for practitioners throughout the world.
