NOW tests show no this is not true SO...
new mobidity=

***************************
what age groups does is hit the most?
behavioral social etc that influneces health
other factors that lead to this statistic
(5-30% of all ped illness statistics)
ex economics in the household can they afford to go to doctor? blow off going to the doctor? 7-14 yrs are most affected w/ new mobidiity
more males than females
single parent families
kids w/ low reading skills
higher school absences. SO lower social eco level blow off school Latch key kids here
they are sick the statitics call it new mobidity b/c of social eco realities...more psyco issues too. no one home
no nurturing b/c their parents are too cranky when they come home
the function of a peds nurse has 3 philosophies but 2 we care about now are
we are taking care of a whole family ... our pt isn't just a child, its the whole family

2) is atrumatic care ... means we are going to try to cause harm to the child while preparing them for something
what is the definintion of a family?
whomever that kid defines that or them to be whatever!
aunts uncles best frient whatever
so the nurse must give:
support, respect,encourgement,enhance strength, and competency help
who
the family of the kid
we must present ourselves to the parents as equals NOT superior or inferior but as equals. even when what
when they themselves are not acting professional
we have to give the parent the right to decide they have to have a word in too
how do we support the child and parent in our role as nurse
by education
find the parents strong and weak points and build on them
again what is atrumatic care

to do no ...
curing someone take a long time and is stressful
so our job is to decrease this stress and provide as much atrumatic care as possible

goal is not to harm!
how do we achieve goal of do no harm?
min seperation from family
do everything together w/ the child and family in the hospital / office setting
if its a painful procedure we try to get a parent to stay in the room ...trust vs mistrust we want to kid to hate us and not their parents
ex we have to give a shot to the kid ... how do we give control back to the kid? we give them a choice NOT on time but what?
which doll do they want to hold
or the choice of where the shot will be given
not the time frame
were talking toddlers and preschool that know the shot is coming NOT infants
and we can trust the parent to hold the kid securely so we don't hurt them w/ the shot
do we hesitate w/ a peds shot?
no the faster we get in and get out the better
dart fast and get it over
b/c this min injury and pain
the slower you dart the more it hurts
we respect the kids privacy too w/ a drawn curtain
also consider what kind of play activity why
to ease the kids stress
like a doll that you can play like what the kid is going to get do it with the doll

whatever to get the kid in and out and home as fast as possible.
family structure will ..
impact the direction of the nursing care
peds nurses will document the interaction b/t the parent and kid BUT nurse has to remain ...
neutral
that said, if the kid fears his parents, thats a clue and we might have to get social services involved
YOU CAN NOT GO BY HEAR SAY WE HAVE TO ACTUALLY SEE SOMETHING WITNESS IT OR WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT STUFF
YOU CAN TELL A SOCIAL WORKER YOUR FEARS BUT NO ONE CAN DO ANYTHING B/C THE CHILD COULD BE MANIPULATING THE SITUATION
THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT B/C THE PARENT CAN SUE THE NURSE FOR...
DIFIMATION OF CHARACTER IN CIVIL COURT SO YOU MUST BE CAREFUL...TELL EITHER DOCTOR OR SOCIAL WORKER WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN AND DOCUMENT
