The ABCs of sun protection for children
Dermatol Nurs.
2005 Dec.
Abstract
Excessive sun exposure in childhood is a critical variable influencing skin cancer risk. Nurses must teach parents how to properly protect their children from excessive sun exposures by demystifying UV radiation and teaching proper sun-protection measures. Protecting children from excessive sun exposure, while not curtailing recreation, should be the goal of all nurses caring for children.
