Include a description of your strengths and weaknesses in terms of working with children and how these strengths and weaknesses might impact your practicum experience. Discuss your personal definition of family and how family roles might impact the assessment of a child and his or her family. Then, explain how culture(both the culture of the me and that of the child and his or her family) may further influence the assessment. Select and explain a nursing theory to guide your practice with pediatric patients. Based on your strengths, weaknesses, and theory of nursing practice, develop goals and objectives for the practicum experience in this course.
