AbstractChildren are not just small adults. Perioperative nurses working with pediatric patients plan nursing interventions based on established principles of perioperative practice as well as incorporating concepts of growth and development relating to the child. A thorough assessment of the pediatric patient prior to surgery enables the perioperative nurse to plan for the surgical procedure, modifying as need be for the individual patient's specific needs. With adequate preparation, communication, and emotional support, the pediatric surgical experience can be positive for the child, parents, and perioperative team.
