Summer-Safe, Trauma-Wise: Advocating for Preventative Legislation

Advocacy remains an extremely important role of the pediatric health care provider. Pediatric nurse practitioners are challenged to focus on supporting the most critical policies that govern child health, especially in the areas of safety and injury prevention within their own states and neighborhoods. The summer months of June through August are considered "trauma season," a time of year when children are most likely to sustain injuries on the road as pedestrians or occupants of motor vehicles; in the sports arena; and as a result of participating in activities like swimming or hiking.
