Background of the Study
Pediatric emergencies require prompt and specialized care to prevent adverse outcomes in children. Emergency nurses are often the first healthcare providers to assess and manage these critical situations. Their roles encompass rapid assessment, stabilization, and initiation of treatment protocols tailored to pediatric patients. In Benue State, Nigeria, understanding the specific contributions and challenges faced by emergency nurses in managing pediatric emergencies is vital for improving child health services.
