All interventions are based on the following principles:
- All interventions are FAMILY-CENTERED, treating the child and family as a unit.
- The goal is to help the child and family unit attain, maintain, or regain optimal health.
- Nursing interventions are guided by both the child’s chronologic age and level of development (physical and mental). 4. Health and development are affected by environment and heredity.
