<DIV><DIV>Most of the books in this under-served area appear to be British, Canadian, or American. <I>What to Do When Your Child Gets Sick</I> is specifically aimed at the Australian and New Zealand market, with its references to emergency numbers and hospital procedures. Not sure what's ailing your child? Do you need to see a GP? Or is it serious enough for a dash to the emergency room? The answers to these questions, and more, are here in the essential go-to manual for parents and carers. Have you ever felt helpless when your child?or a child in your care?became unwell and you weren't sure what was wrong? Have you ever been faced with an emergency situation involving a child and not had the first idea what to do? Would you know what to do if your child stopped breathing and their heart stopped beating? <I>What to Do When Your Child Gets Sick</I> is designed to help parents and carers recognise severe illness and deterioration in children, and enable them to make a decision about whether a child is: slightly unwell, and can be taken to the GP the next day; moderately ill, and needs to be taken to the Emergency Department, but can stay in the waiting room; and when 000 should be called. It also aims to cover almost every conceivable medical emergency you might face with your child, as well as a wide range of less serious, but nonetheless frightening, medical situations, such as the management of broken bones, seizures, and burns. The must-have manual for parents and anyone looking after children?from teachers to babysitters, nannies, day-care staff, and preschool teachers?this book will be an invaluable addition to every bookshelf.</DIV></DIV>
