Your interventions will be similar to that of an adult, for example you will need to assess Neuro status. In an adult you would look at their level of orientation , are they answering questions appropriately, are their pupils equal… For an infant, you cannot determine their level of orientation, but you assess their pupils, assess their fontanel (is it bulging or is it flat, etc.), are they eating, are they withdrawing from painful stimuli, etc. Try looking at you care plan for an adult with head injury and see where you can adapt it to meet an infant. Important differences for pediatrics involve the family. Assist the parents in understanding the disease process, and assist with boding. Good luck!
