In this episode of Voices from the Nursing Frontline, Dr. Lisa Beasley speaks with Dr. Andrea Sebastian, a pediatric child abuse nurse practitioner, in recognition of National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The discussion focuses on the critical role healthcare providers play in identifying early signs of child maltreatment. Dr. Sebastian highlights the importance of recognizing “sentinel injuries,” such as bruising in non-mobile children, and introduces a mnemonic to help clinicians identify concerning patterns. The episode also explores abusive head trauma as a leading cause of death in child abuse cases, emphasizing subtle and often-missed symptoms like vomiting, irritability, and lethargy. Dr. Sebastian reinforces that providers are not responsible for proving abuse but are mandated to report reasonable suspicion, prioritizing child safety above all. Listeners will gain practical guidance on documentation, communication with caregivers, and when to escalate care or seek consultation. The episode closes with a reminder that child abuse prevention is a shared community responsibility, and early recognition can save lives.
