Introduction
Pediatric nursing is developed to provide nursing assistance to pediatric clients and their families
with the best use of nursing meta-paradigm. The NFDN-2005 nursing foundations provide care
assistance to the process of growth and development of the nursing care for the paediatrics. This
study will describe the effectiveness of pediatric nursing care to nullify the traumatic problems of
nursing. The study will be developed into two parts. The first part will initiate a case study that
will be developed chronologically based on the traumatic problems of the pediatric patients. The
second part analyzes the reasons and solution of the problems through pediatric nursing,
therapeutic communication and teaching and learning process. The legal and ethical issues will
also be described based on the nursing process and meta-paradigm. The concluding part will
summarize the whole discussion and will focus on the effectiveness of pediatric nursing for
pediatric trauma care.
Analysis
Part 1
The case scenario of the pediatric care is capable to unfold the detail of the injury that has led the
patient to the traumatic situation. An emergency care treatment is always required for the trauma
injury patient to mitigate the initial risk factors associated with traumatic nursing (Plog et al.,
2015). The case is as follows:
The incident
Jerome is a 2 years old boy who was sitting on the lap of his mother at the backseat of the car.
While sitting at a stoplight, the car was suddenly hit by another car which was chased by the city
police. With the sudden shock of the accident the mother needed to put her hands out of fear to

save herself and the baby boy was thrown down on the floor under the passenger side dashboard.
The car was damaged badly and the parents went unconscious stuck by the windscreen. The baby
boy was found crying at the scene and was unable to move his lower extremities.
Emergency medical care
The baby boy was sent to the local pediatric hospital where he had undergone some initial
treatment. It was found after a chain treatment process that his right ankle was totally dislocated.
The caregivers quickly sent him for the CT scan and were found an intraventricular hemorrhage
in his skull fracture. However, the chest position was normal. The intraventricular hemorrhage
signifies a little paralysed mental order and a little malfunction in the narcotic elements
(Bolisetty et al., 2014).
