Always ask questions any doubt

Pediatric nursing is the medical care of neonates and children up to adolescence, usually in an in-patient hospital or day-clinic. Pediatrics comes from the Greek words ‘paedia’ which means child, ‘iatrike’ which means physician.^[1] ‘Paediatrics’ is the British/Australian spelling and ‘pediatrics’ is the American spelling.

Overview

Direct nursing care

The main role of pediatric nurses is to administer procedures and medicines to children according to prescribed nursing care plans. Nurses also continually assess the patient by observing vital signs, and developing communication skills with children and family members and with medical teams. Being a support to children and their families is one component of direct nursing care. Awareness of the concerns of children and parents, being present physically at times of stress and implementing strategies to help children and family members cope are all part of the work.^[2]

Neonatal Nursing

Neonatal nurses are registered nurses who specialize in working with young and vulnerable patients. Neonatal nursing is a branch of health-care that mainly focuses on providing care and support for newborn babies, who were born prematurely or are suffering from health problems such as birth defects, infections, or heart deformities. Many neonatal nurses work in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), providing highly specialized medical care to at-risk newborns.^[3]

A dysmature newborn “is one whose developmental level is poor at birth.”^[4] These newborns require a special type of care, due to the health issues that arise, such as:

• Inadequate respiratory function
• Poor control of body temperature
• Increased tendency to bleed
• Poor resistance to infection
• Poor nutrition
• Immature kidneys and skin
• Jaundice.^[5]

Neonatal nurses employ a plethora of medical techniques to improve the condition of premature infants, including the use of incubators. Essentially, the incubator “provide[s] proper heat, humidity, oxygen, and mist… and protection from infection.”^[6] The Isolette is a popular example of an incubator used by hospitals and, furthermore, improvements upon the successful continue to be made.The medical apparatus provides essential medical care for at-risk newborns and, to this day, remains a staple of neonatal care.^[7][8]

Pediatric emergency nursing

Pediatric nurses are expected to have a fast mobility and quick response on stressful situations to contain the life-threatening situations. Key features of pediatric emergency nursing include:^[9]

• Handling multifaceted trauma, injury or illness cases with equal levels of calmness without letting the patients feel the urgency of the situation
• Stabilizing patients with focused and wholesome care
• Quickly diagnosing conditions and providing on-spot solutions
• Administering the right medications to minimize pain
• Keeping up with the fast-paced work environment by constantly upgrading skills and knowledge
• Being patient and caring for the families who accompany the little patients and working on easing their mental trauma
• Most importantly, not giving in to heartbreak and despair when some cases do not see improvement or success. Learning to control emotions and moving on is the key to helping more and more patients in this work environment.^[10]
