How this list was created

FNOPI- the National Federation of Nursing Professions Orders (IPASVI until 2017) participates in the campaign “Doing more does not mean doing better- Choosing Wisely Italy” through the development of five procedures regarding the pediatric nursing area. They were developed taking into account the damage caused to the patient by the inappropriateness of procedures and the lack of cooperation among colleagues and between nurses and child/family. We aimed at highlighting issues lacking research and clinical trials attention and so with poor scientific evidence. These procedures are intended to support the vocational activities of pediatric nurses as a consulting subsidy for daily practice, to improve the quality and safety of actions that can often be “automatic”, without underestimating the equitable use of available resources by avoiding wastefulness. The methodological approach was organized by the Academy of Nursing Sciences (ASI).
