Nurse Boynton: Student Recommendation
I am grateful for the opportunity to recommend Amy Boynton for the Kane County Educator of the Year Award. Nurse Boynton is fiercely dedicated to the students of Saint Charles North High School addressing the unique medical and emotional requirements of the students with tireless effort and genuine compassion. I have had the pleasure of sending three of my children to North High School where Nurse Boynton is readily available for any medical issues the students may be contending with; nothing is too big or too small a hurdle on the road to educate students with medical needs. My family’s first interactions with Nurse Boynton was fairly routine regarding my son’s epi-pen and my oldest daughter’s asthma inhaler, yet she and her staff at North

    This week in the cardia pre-op clinic, a Nurse Practitioner (NP) named Dot told me about her patient needed child life and that she was not prepared for her surgery. The patient was an 8-year-old girl from Puerto Rico who spoke Spanish and some English. I met D.F. and her mother in the waiting area of the pre-op clinic. I accompanied D.F and her mother to the lab and assessed D.F.’s understanding of why she was coming to the hospital. D.F. told me that she had a murmur and when I said, “oh, a murmur in your heart,” she told me, “no, a murmur in my chest.” Then I went back up to the pre-op clinic and spoke to Dot, asking her if the other had shared her understanding of the surgery and if there was any reason why she was not prepared for her surgery. Dot shared that the surgery had been moved up one week, and when she asked the mother that morning if D.F. had been prepared she did not realize the importance of preparing her child. I decided it would be best to talk with the mother first about preparing D.F. and giving her the option of preparing D.F. herself.…

    Because of the differences in culture a nurse must continue to explain any assessment carried out on a child even when the child looks away or does not show eye contact with the nurse. The nurse should communicate with the parent first when dealing with a preschool aged patient or a toddler and this must be done in front of the child. This is done to gain the trust of the child before any medical procedure can be done. The nurse should always explain and give reasons to why the school aged child need a procedure to be carried out on him or her. For example, an asthmatic child may be scared of the nebulizing equipment but a nurse explained to him that the he will be able to breath better afterwards, the child will allow him or her to proceed with the treatment. This is because it will allow the child to see that the parent has accepted the treatment of the nurse and trusts them so the child should do the same. The parent will also be providing all of the health history for this age group children as well. The nurse should always have the parent in the room when talking to the child, this makes the child feel more comfortable. The nurse should familiar with the child’s way of communicating pain, before the treatment starts. Also, there are some treatments where the child will…
