TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Injury prevention at the bedside JO - Journal of trauma nursing A1 - Elwell, Sean A1 - Zakrzewski, Jennifer A1 - McCue, Jennifer SP - 334 EP - 336 VL - 23 IS - 6 N2 - It is estimated that 1 in 4 children will have an unintentional injury that requires medical attention or intervention by the time they are 21 years of age. Emergency department staff have an opportunity to engage families in injury prevention messaging right at the bedside. Having staff who participate in an injured patient's care can better prepare a family or prevent another injury. Our emergency department staff identified these moments as prime teaching opportunities and worked with our trauma team to develop resources and education for patients and families that present to our department.
