Pediatric Perioperative/Adolescents

Abstract: A 6 page research paper that offers a literature review on perioperative nursing interventions for adolescent surgical patients. Many nurses have the impression that dealing with an adolescent should be similar to dealing with an adult. However, research literature concerning perioperative experience with adolescents indicates that there are solid reasons for including adolescent care in the realm of pediatric medicine. This literature review addresses data concerning perioperative management of adolescents and the implication of research data for nursing practice in this area. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
