As accidents are the leading cause of injury among young children, checklists for every area in and around your home are provided to prevent common mishaps. Suggestions such as maintaining a well-stocked home health kit, posting emergency telephone numbers, and appointing a designated surrogate are offered to help you act quickly and effectively in a crisis situation. Part Two presents illustrated, easy-to-follow, basic life-saving techniques and procedures. This practical section provides steps for initiating cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), guidelines for performing first aid for choking, techniques for immobilizing broken bones, and more. Part Three includes an A-to-Z listing of the most common emergency situations. Each entry begins with an explanation of the problem, followed by an emergency treatment procedure. For cases in which an emergency situation may not be obvious - such as bouts of excessive nausea or diarrhea - information on when to call the doctor is provided. Depending on the nature of the emergency, many entries also include prevention tips and general recommendations that include follow-up care. While no parent can avoid all emergency situations, it is reassuring that you can do much to safeguard your child, and to act swiftly and effectively should an emergency occur. Timely, clear, concise, and packed with life-saving information, A Parent's Guide to Medical Emergencies, is a must for any responsible person who cares for a child on a regular basis.

Last year America’s 76 million children made 27 million trips to hospital emergency departments—one for every three children. That represents a lot of fevers, coughs, sore ears, twisted ankles, and broken bones, plus the wide gamut of other illnesses and injuries children can experience. Whether or not an emergency room visit was warranted for each of these visits, however, is an entirely different story. Keeping Your Kids Out of the Emergency Room is an essential guide to the most common illnesses, injuries, and ailments that send kids to the ER, and when particular symptoms warrant those trips or not. Christopher Johnson, a seasoned pediatrician, offers a go-to resource for all new parents and parents of young children, providing solid information on those instances when a trip to the ER is essential, when a trip to the doctor will suffice, and when a wait and see approach works best. He tackles all the most common ailments that cause parents to wonder if they should take their child to the emergency department. Since these problems appear as a bundle of symptoms, not a diagnosis, the book is organized around what parents actually see in front of them. It also teaches parents how emergency departments work, so the experience is understandable when a trip to the ER is essential. With this helpful guide, any parent can learn practical things about which pediatric health problems need immediate attention, which do not, and how to tell the two apart. Knowing the differences, and understanding those situations that require immediate care and those that don’t, may help parents avoid the emergency room and still get the best care for their child in the meantime. Every new parent, or parent of young children, will find here a ready introduction to the most common childhood ailments, and when they rise to the level of true emergencies. Knowing what to do before a child becomes ill or injured will help parents make informed decisions when situations arise.

“Smart and funny, with characters so real and vulnerable, you want to send them care packages. I loved this book.” —Rainbow Rowell From debut author Mary H.K. Choi comes a compulsively readable novel that shows young love in all its awkward glory—perfect for fans of Eleanor & Park and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. For Penny Lee, high school was a total nonevent. Her friends were okay, her grades were fine, and while she’d somehow landed a boyfriend, they never managed to know much about each other. Now Penny is heading to college in Austin, Texas, to learn how to become a writer. It’s seventy-nine miles and a zillion light years away from everything she can’t wait to leave behind. Sam’s stuck. Literally, figuratively, emotionally, financially. He works at a café and sleeps there too, on a mattress on the floor of an empty storage room upstairs. He knows that this is the god-awful chapter of his life that will serve as inspiration for when he’s a famous movie director but right this second the seventeen bucks in his checking account and his dying laptop are really testing him. When Sam and Penny cross paths it’s less meet-cute and more a collision of unbearable awkwardness. Still, they swap numbers and stay in touch—via text—and soon become digitally inseparable, sharing their deepest anxieties and secret dreams without the humiliating weirdness of having to, you know, see each other.
