There is a special approach involved to treat illnesses, disability and developmental issues when children are your patients. Most children are afraid of medical procedures which they associate with pain and anxiety. As nurses, we do what we can to prevent the child from becoming overwhelmed. We provide encouragement and comfort to promote continuity of care at home.
