  • Title: Unique considerations in caring for a pediatric burn patient: a developmental approach.
    Author: Smith M, Doctor M, Boulter T.
    Journal: Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am; 2004 Mar; 16(1):99-108. PubMed ID: 15062416.
    Abstract:
    Treatment of the child with a burn injury is a dynamic and complex process incorporating pediatric physiology, cognition, and emotional development. An understanding of child development and the importance of the family plays a key role in the child's recovery at all ages. An account of a teenager's burn injury is depicted through the voices of the teenager and his nurse. This article explores that experience and provides a comprehensive look at the role of the burn team, family, and community in his recovery.
