Abstract

Children are physically and psychologically different from adults and require care modified to meet their needs. In the event of a bioterrorism attack, the child's stage of development can help or hinder his or her response to bioterrorist material. This Part 1 of a series of articles addresses the differences found in children and how health care providers can alter interventions to avoid causing further harm.
