The "Pediatric Acute Care: A Guide for Interprofessional Practice, 2nd Edition," co-edited by Karin Reuter-Rice, associate professor, has been released.

Highlighting the latest evidence, research and clinical practice in pediatric acute care, "Pediatric Acute Care" is the definitive textbook in the field and the sentinel text for over 40 ACPNP, pediatric residency and other clinical programs. The text showcases the expertise of many of Reuter-Rice’s Duke colleagues. The 1252 pages represent the work of four interprofessional editors and over 200 practicing clinicians and academic experts and cover a wide variety of disciplines including medicine, nursing, pharmacy, child life, nutrition, law, integrative medicine, education, public health and psychology, among others.  

Now in its second edition, "Pediatric Acute Care: A Guide for Interprofessional Practice" continues to provide an evidence-based, interprofessional approach to pediatric acute care as it exemplifies the depth and diversity that’s needed for the dynamic health care environments in which acutely ill children receive care. The second edition also features extensive content updates including updated evidence-based practice, the integration of the 2016 IPEC Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice, a new full-color design and new vivid illustrations throughout the publication.
