Helping parents to decide what is best for their child
1Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo School of Medicine, Rochester, Minnesota.
Abstract:
Helping parents to decide what is best for their child is a necessary portion of medical management for the injured, anomalous, or sick child. It involves collecting information about, consideration of, and giving advice concerning much more than medical details. Certain steps are suggested in offering this help: (1) obtaining comprehensive medical, socioeconomic, and psychologic information; (2) packaging this information to inform fully and satisfy the parents/surrogates of the child; (3) confirming the family's informed participation in the treatment decision; and (4) reinforcing that decision with a very supportive and communicative perioperative period.
