Responsibilities Pediatric Critical Care Nursing is a specialty within nursing that deals specifically with human responses to life‑threatening problems. Critically ill patients are defined as those patients who are at high risk for actual or potential life‑threatening health problems. These patients are highly vulnerable, unstable, and complex, thereby requiring intense, rapid response and vigilant nursing care. The PICU nurse must be able to monitor and safeguard the quality of care that the patient receives.
The PICU critical care nurse is responsible for ensuring that all critically ill patients and their families receive optimal care. The PICU nurse must be able to cue into subtle changes in the patient’s status that may require multi‑level assessment and intervention to prevent deterioration into life‑threatening situations. The PICU nurse must be able to anticipate the child’s needs and be sensitive to the child’s nonverbal communication.
In addition, the PICU nurse must assess the patient and the family’s coping mechanisms and provide or seek support as needed. The PICU nurse has a responsibility to serve as the patient’s advocate and act as a liaison between the patient, patient’s family and other healthcare professionals including Social Work and Child Life.
