Lead poisoning, the leading environmental illness in this country, is a challenge to our health care and social systems. Because they provide routine health care in a variety of settings, including care to children from poor inner city families, who are most at risk for plumbism, nurse practitioners should be knowledgeable about this illness and prepared to care for children who have it. This article describes the role of a pediatric nurse practitioner in a specialty program who cares for children with lead poisoning and informs the general practitioner about prevention, education, treatment, coordination of care, and long-term follow-up for these children and their families.
铅中毒是该国主要的环境疾病，对我们的医疗保健和社会系统构成挑战。由于执业护士在各种环境中提供常规医疗保健，包括为来自市中心贫困家庭的儿童提供护理，而这些儿童最易患铅中毒，因此执业护士应了解这种疾病，并准备好照顾患有铅中毒的儿童。本文描述了一名在专科项目中照顾铅中毒儿童的儿科执业护士的角色，并向全科医生介绍了这些儿童及其家庭的预防、教育、治疗、护理协调和长期随访情况。
