Pediatric Nursing and Mental Health

Zusatztext

Pediatric nursing is the medical care of neonates and children up to adolescence, usually in an in-patient hospital or day clinic. In todays most developed countries such as the United States of America one in four children will experience a functionally impairing mental health disorder. Thus, wherever you work in the child health care system, you will regularly encounter children with mental or behavioral health challenges. What each of us does in response to these challenges faced by our patients depends on our workplace setting, our behavioral health knowledge base, and the mental health support systems we have available.
