Before Justice Hope Coleman was born, nurses in an antenatal testing center provided her parents with support and encouragement, the first steps in empowering them in their roles as parents of a child with multiple disabilities and complex medical needs. Over time, other nurses supported Justice's parents as they learned to communicate clearly and collaboratively with professionals; to provide a high level of care for their daughter in a loving, family-oriented way; and to advocate not only for Justice and their family as a whole, but also for other children and families in the healthcare system. This article describes the important role nurses played in empowering Justice's parents.
在霍普·科尔曼法官出生之前，一家产前检测中心的护士为她的父母提供了支持和鼓励，这是帮助他们成为一个患有多种残疾且有复杂医疗需求孩子的父母的第一步。随着时间的推移，其他护士在以下方面给予了科尔曼父母支持：帮助他们学会与专业人员清晰且协作地沟通；以充满爱意、以家庭为导向的方式为女儿提供高水平的护理；不仅为科尔曼和整个家庭发声，也为医疗系统中的其他孩子和家庭争取权益。本文描述了护士在帮助科尔曼父母方面所发挥的重要作用。
