Abstract

Emergency nurses are actively involved in primary, secondary, and tertiary pediatric injury prevention activities. This article outlines the steps that emergency nurses can take to identify common pediatric injuries treated in the Emergency Departments and integrate existing and evolving injury prevention resources into their repertoire of nursing skills. Research and demonstration projects conducted by emergency physicians, nurses, and prehospital care providers are highlighted.
