Allred 1 Taelyn Allred Professor Branson English 101 13 February 2024 Nursing Case Study A pediatric nurse faces difficult situations when parents express worries about vaccinating their one-year-old child, particularly if their other child has autism after receiving the MMR vaccine. The nurse in this case study has to handle the parents' concerns and stress the value of vaccinations for the general public's health, all while upholding professional standards. Being accountable for one's professional behavior is a crucial part of a nurse's job. It is essential that the nurses follow signs of accountability and responsibility, which calls on them to act with honesty and integrity at all times. This honesty includes admitting one's ignorance and the influence of one's parents' morals and views on one's choice. Studies show that “
there is no link between MMR vaccine or thimersol and autism,
” (Talking with Parents about Vaccines for Infants, P.2) There are webpages made through the CDC that will give any necessary information on questions and inquiry’s on vaccinations. Nurses help to build a personal relationship with parents in the doctor's office when it comes to gaining trust and leading parents in the proper direction when it comes to giving children
Allred 2 immunizations. Not only is it important for the child to be vaccinated but it is equally as important for the parent to have a firm understanding, so that they understand the child is protected but so they’re leaving the office with no questions
unanswered. Understanding the parents' point of view requires recognizing the impact of values and beliefs. While operating within their legal scope of practice and areas of competence, the nurse must be aware of possible disagreements and take appropriate action to avoid or resolve them. Having access to trustworthy information is crucial to promoting moral and safe nursing practice, highlighting the importance of the nurse's ongoing learning and self-evaluation. In order to address concerns about vaccines, it becomes imperative to take part in improvements to improve health care. The nurse must actively participate in changes that are in line with the latest research in nursing in order to provide safe and ethical care. Different communication techniques are needed to apply these obligations to the case scenario. Establishing a cooperative and respectful workplace requires open communication, honesty, and tact. (Self Assessment 6.2) Speaking openly and clearly with parents and the medical staff helps ease worries and spread awareness of the value of immunizations for public health. (Self Assessment 7.3.1, 8.2.13, 8.4.7) Respectful listening and response are essential to creating an atmosphere where
Allred 3 respect for one another grows. The nurse should help people maintain friendly communication by using their understanding of organizational behavior and communication. Writing clearly is similarly important, especially when delivering accurate information concerning problems relating to vaccines. If parents need to talk about vaccines, give them your full attention. Despite a full schedule resist the urge to multi-task while a parent talks. Maintain eye-contact with parents, restate their concerns to be sure you understand their viewpoint, and pause to thoughtfully prepare your reply. Your willingness to listen will likely play a major role in helping parent with their decisions to choose vaccination. (Talking with Parents about Vaccines for Infants P.3) It is essential to consult with nurses and other medical experts as this fosters teamwork, communication, and consultation. A complete plan for resolving vaccine-
related concerns involves working with the team and getting input from employees and other parties involved in health care planning. The duties of mentoring and instructing others are in line with professional norms. It is the responsibility of the nurse to impart nursing knowledge to patients, coworkers, and other caregivers. Confidentiality must always be upheld, client privacy must be protected, and others must be educated on how to protect client privacy in the setting of vaccine-related fears.

Allred 4 As a last duty, addressing ethical difficulties entails identifying them, speaking with the right people, and acting to address them. In summary, managing this case study calls for finding a careful balance between advancing community health and evidence-based nursing practice and honoring the parents' concerns. Understanding the parents' wishes while making sure the child and the larger community are well-
cared for needs a commitment to professional standards, open communication, and information sharing. In conclusion, pediatric nurses have to maintain a delicate balance while handling the complicated details of parents' worries about vaccinations, especially when a child has been diagnosed with autism after receiving the MMR vaccine. Keeping the highest levels of professionalism demands that nurses behave with accountability, honesty, and integrity. Research continuously shows that there is no conclusive evidence linking vaccinations including the MMR vaccine and autism. Promoting safe and secure nursing practice depends on having access to reliable information and continuing education. Addressing issues and creating a respectful and cooperative atmosphere depend heavily on effective verbal and written communication.
