pediatric Discussion Week 4

Hi all,

Im going to keep this week “lighter” because you had a bigger reading assignment and midterms coming up. These are all scenario based, I’m looking for responses from you, not stuff you found in the book. Please use your book for reference but I want to know how you’d respond as the nurse. I’m giving more points (50 points) because we are approaching a halfway point and will give you an opportunity to sway your grades. Please copy and paste this write your answers after the question and repost it as your response so I can grade it. The answers don’t need to be long, I’m just assessing what you know and watch you put some of your critical thinking to the test!
