Adolescents. Beginning Pediatric Nursing

Description

Focusing on the needs of patients ranging from 12 to 18 years of age, this program features ways for pediatric nurses to work positively with the family members of patients, address specific cultural issues that may emerge in (or create obstacles to) the administering of proper care, and maximize the non-traumatic aspects of professional nursing. Trainees will gain both a physiological and psychosocial understanding of the average adolescent health care consumer, particularly as they are impacted by issues of weight and sexuality. After viewing the video, learners will be familiarized with a full range of recommended care strategies for assisting, supporting, advocating for, and coping with patients in this extremely challenging developmental stage.
