Abstract

Child maltreatment is a major pediatric health care concern. A large number of children will be admitted to inpatient pediatric settings for treatment of injuries that have resulted from child abuse and/or neglect. This article focuses on the role of play during the abused child's acute inpatient admission. Sensitive crisis management and careful assessment and treatment of the child through play are significant contributions to the comprehensive care of such children.
