Developmental Characteristics and Pediatric Assessment

The demanding parent
 
  • The parents need to have confidence in your ability and faith that you have the best interest of the child in mind in order to relinquish care to you

  • Keep answers and explanations short, logical and confident
    • I need to start the IV without the cream because
      • We don’t carry the cream
      • It takes ½ hour to work
      • Your child is in shock and needs fluid now
    • I understand you child is in pain, we still need to place her on the backboard because it reduces the chance of spinal cord injury and paralysis
