Accepted Answer

Many of the nurse's actions may serve his or her own needs rather than those of the child and family.It is therapeutic for the patient and family to have the same nurse provide care over an extended period of time.By withdrawing somewhat,nurses can protect themselves while providing therapeutic care.The nurse's role is to transition the child and family to self-care.

The child's developmental stage determines the type of injury that is likely to occur.The child's physical health may facilitate his or her recovery from an injury.Educational level is related to developmental level,but is not as important in determining the type of injury.The number of responsible adults in the home may affect the number of unintentional injuries,but the type of injury will be most strongly related to the child's developmental stage.
