INTRO:

Pediatric nursing care is a specialized field of nursing that focuses on

providing healthcare to infants, children, and adolescents. It involves the

care and treatment of young patients across various healthcare settings,

such as hospitals, clinics, and pediatricians' offices.

The goal of pediatric nursing care is to promote the physical, emotional,

and social well-being of children by delivering age-appropriate and

developmentally sensitive care. Nurses in this field are trained to assess,

diagnose, plan, implement, and evaluate the care of pediatric patients

using evidence-based practices and specialized knowledge.

Pediatric nursing care includes a wide range of activities, including

administering medications, monitoring vital signs, managing pain,

providing emotional support, educating patients and their families, and

assisting with various procedures and treatments. Nurses need to have

excellent communication and interpersonal skills to effectively

communicate with children and their families, as well as to collaborate

with other healthcare professionals involved in the child's care.
