Establishing a therapeutic relationship with a child who has been abused is a challenge for the pediatric nurse. The relationship progresses from free play to specific interchange focused on disclosure of the abuse. The nurse needs to be cognizant of language and setting that is developmentally compatible with the child and directs interventions that help to empower the child to resolve his or her vulnerability.
