title: Phenylketonuria: an update for pediatric community health nurses.
abstract: Successful management of phenylketonuria (PKU) requires a team effort from health care providers, the child, family, and friends. Community health nurses can be family advocates to coordinate information and resources. Nurses can help parents gain confidence in their abilities to care for their child by giving appropriate guidance and positive reinforcement.
