Abstract:
In summary, inflicted cerebral trauma is a devastating but ultimately preventable brain injury caused by unique physiologic mechanisms that result in a distinctive pattern of injury. Nurses in a variety of settings, from the clinic and emergency room to the pediatric intensive care unit, play a major role in the identification, documentation, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of ICT. The nurse's unique training also promotes prevention education and nonjudgmental support of the family.
