    Author: Maguire-Eisen M, Rothman K, Demierre MF.
    Journal: Dermatol Nurs; 2005 Dec; 17(6):419-22, 431-3; quiz 434. PubMed ID: 16463924.
    Abstract:
    Excessive sun exposure in childhood is a critical variable influencing skin cancer risk. Nurses must teach parents how to properly protect their children from excessive sun exposures by demystifying UV radiation and teaching proper sun-protection measures. Protecting children from excessive sun exposure, while not curtailing recreation, should be the goal of all nurses caring for children.
