title: Incorporating play interventions into nursing care.
abstract: Play, as a nursing intervention, has often taken a back seat to all the technical skills performed by nurses. Nurses can and should contribute to implementing and designing play interventions. A review of the play literature forms the basis of a case illustration presented to assist the nurse to plan and implement play in the busy hospital setting.
