Polan and Taylor's Journey Across the Life Span was the first growth and development text designed specifically for the LPN student. With their new third edition, they continue to provide the most reliable and comprehensive content for applying health promotion to the clinical setting. This user-friendly updated edition includes new photos and illustrations, and expanded resources for educators to guide students to better understand the demands of their future roles with patients through all stages of the life cycle.
