| Question | Answer |
| What can nurses do for young people in their care? | Work in partnership Involve family where appropriate Advocate Empower - acknowledge them |
| Why does the way we treat our young patients change so frequently? | Children grow up faster and have a better understanding in a short period of time. A 15 year old will understand things differently as a 12yo or an adult. |
| What important factors impinge on the way we treat our patients? | We treat the entire family, from recognising they have trouble with travelling, or a damp, mouldy house and put them in touch with the appropriate services. |
| How does politics affect care? | Pressure to cut costs We in turn put pressure on the family to learn to care for their child Culture of blame and HEALTHCARE CLIMATE OF LITIGATION! |
| How can we provide good quality care? | Empower the child to do things themselves, and don't rush them. Let them learn at their own pace. KEEP GOOD RECORDS - document any referrals made, not that you've just discharged. |
| What challenges to children face during the transition? | Adult wards are scary - new people, not as friendly, busier, noisier. No respite in adult hospices - crisis management only. |
