Providing nursing care for preschool-aged children who are at risk, high risk, or currently ill requires a

comprehensive understanding of pediatric health principles and tailored interventions to address their
specific needs.

At-Risk Preschoolers:

Children in this category may have factors that predispose them to health issues, such as exposure to
secondhand smoke, poor nutrition, or lack of immunizations.

Key Nursing Interventions:

Health Education: Educate families about the importance of immunizations, balanced nutrition, and
creating a smoke-free environment to promote overall health.

Regular Monitoring: Conduct routine health assessments to identify early signs of potential health
problems.

Environmental Assessment: Evaluate the child's living conditions to ensure they are conducive to health
and recommend necessary changes.

High-Risk Preschoolers:

These children have identifiable conditions or histories that significantly increase their risk for health
complications, such as being born prematurely, having low birth weight, or existing chronic conditions.

Key Nursing Interventions:

Individualized Care Plans: Develop and implement care plans tailored to the child's specific health needs
and risks.

Parental Support and Training: Provide parents with the necessary skills and knowledge to manage their
child's condition effectively at home.
Coordination of Care: Work with a multidisciplinary team to ensure comprehensive care, including
referrals to specialists when necessary.

Sick Preschoolers:

Children who are acutely ill require immediate and effective nursing interventions to manage their
symptoms and promote recovery.

Key Nursing Interventions:

Symptom Management: Administer prescribed medications and therapies to alleviate symptoms and
monitor for side effects.

Infection Control: Implement strict hygiene practices to prevent the spread of infection, especially in
group settings like daycare centers.

Family Education: Instruct families on proper care techniques, signs of worsening conditions, and when
to seek further medical attention.
