Are There Any Special Considerations for Pediatric Patients?
Pediatric patients require special considerations due to their unique physiological and psychological characteristics:
Age-Appropriate Communication: It is important to explain procedures and care instructions in a way that is understandable to both the child and their parents. Pain Management: Adequate pain control is essential for children to ensure comfort and promote healing. Emotional Support: Children may experience anxiety related to their wound and treatment; providing emotional support and involving child life specialists can be beneficial.
