Question

What can a nurse do during an emergency admission to alleviate some of the child's and family's fears/anxieties over the situation?

Recommend that the family remain in the waiting room until the child is fully admitted and treatment completed. Place an identification bracelet on the child, explaining that this will help the hospital staff know who he or she is at all times. Remain calm, explaining procedures to both the family and the client in a caring manner. Ask the family members health history questions while the child is being initially treated. Undress the child for a physical examination as soon as they arrive.
