Caring for children and adults on a specialty unit.
The nursing care system in a university hospital was modified to accommodate children on an organ transplant unit. System components for ensuring high-quality care for patients of all ages are identified and described. Primary nursing, a Pediatric Nursing Practice Council, Child Family Life and the support of the health care team are incorporated to successfully care for adults and children on this specialty unit.
