摘要:

A review of the pediatric literature on pain and stress reducing strategies is followed by a description of a breathing management and relaxation technique. Its use as a pain coping method is illustrated by two cases on a pediatric service. The positive responses of stress affected patients suggests that this approach can be effective in reducing feelings of panic and anxiety as a reaction to pain and the anticipation of pain.

摘要:

Hypercholesterolemia is a problem not only shared by many adults but also by their children. It has been hypothesized that fatty streaks in the aorta may be established by 10 years of age, thus aiding in the process of calcification later in life (5,17). Autopsy exams on young U.S. soldiers killed in Viet Nam and Korea revealed coronary calcification in 45-77% (5,17). Pediatric nurses can do much to assist both parents and their children in learning the appropriate diet and exercise regimen necessary to help reduce the cholesterol-heart disease risk in identified children.

摘要:

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is estimated to occur in 1 in 8,000 to 20,000 live births. Newborn screening identifies these children and proper dietary management changes the course of their lives from mental retardation to normal intelligence. However, there are many factors that influence whether the family and the person with PKU will cope satisfactorily with this lifelong condition. Interdisciplinary teams often assist the family and client with this process. As a member of the team the nurse assumes a counseling and teaching role. That role, following a developmental perspective, is presented in this article.
