Special Patient Populations

Children, Elderly, and Pregnant Patients

Some patients need special care due to their age or condition.

  • Pediatrics: Children have smaller airways and different vital signs.
  • Elderly: May have chronic illnesses or fragile bones.
  • Pregnant Patients: Risk of complications for both mother and baby.

Communication & Comfort

Use age-appropriate language and reassure both patients and families.

Real-World Application

An elderly woman falls at home. The EMR gently assists her, checks for broken bones, and monitors for signs of shock.

Examples

  • Using a child-sized mask for a young asthma patient.

  • Supporting a woman in labor until advanced help arrives.

In a Nutshell

Special populations need tailored assessment and care to ensure safety and comfort.
