Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals to reduce the number of diagnostic or therapeutic procedures for children by providing health counseling to both parent and child on ways to prevent children from becoming ill and subsequently requiring hospitalization, such as teaching sound nutrition and instructing on practices on avoiding unintentional injury. The goal is to reduce the number of diagnostic tests and not encourage them to be done annually. Focusing on the controversy with immunizations will not support the 2020 National Health Goals.
