Pediatric nursing is the medicinal consideration of neonates and youngsters up to puberty, as a rule in an in-understanding healing facility or day-center. Pediatrics originates from the Greek words 'paedia' which implies kid, 'iatrike' which implies doctor. Pediatrics' is the English/Australian spelling and 'pediatrics' is the Assembled States spelling. Pediatric nursing specializes in providing healthcare to infants, children, and adolescents up to the age of 18. Pediatric nurses focus on promoting health, preventing illness, and managing acute and chronic conditions specific to pediatric patients. They work in settings such as hospitals, clinics, schools, and community health centers. Pediatric nurses assess developmental milestones, administer vaccinations, and provide family-centered care. They also educate parents and caregivers on child health and safety practices. Their compassionate and child-friendly approach helps create a supportive environment for young patients and their families, ensuring optimal health and well-being.
