Communication skills, family centred care and compassion are necessary attributes for a nurse to have, in order to develop and maintain therapeutic relationships with pediatric clients. Nursing pediatric patients while having many similarities to nursing those of other age groups brings unique challenges due to the young age of the person.

Medication errors can happen at any time, but I never thought there were so many errors in administering medication to infants. After reading the article I would agree that the technology of smart pumps would help in reducing medication dosing error.

Level III, the Neonatal intensive-care unit (NICU), treats newborns who cannot be treated in the other levels and are in need of high technology to survive.
