Is Parental Smoking Neglect of an Asthmatic Child?
Commentary by Bahareh Keith DO and Kimberly B. Handley MSW LCSW
A mother carrying a coughing child walks into the emergency room. She hysterically flags down a triage nurse and tells her that her daughter Rose is having trouble breathing. The nurse directs mother and child to a bed in the emergency room cordoned off by a light blue curtain. Less than five minutes later Tricia a third-year medical student on her pediatrics rotation shows up to do a thorough history and physical of the patient. The first thing Tricia notices is that both mother and daughter are saturated in the scent of cigarettes. Upon questioning the mother admits to smoking two packs a day in the house.
Have you tried quitting? Tricia asks.
The mother scowls. The smokings not a problem. I keep all the windows open. At that moment her daughter has a severe coughing fit. She scoops Rose into her arms and rubs soothing circles on her back. My daughter has asthma. Thats why were here she tells the student.
Tricia jots a note in the patients record and sees Rose has been admitted multiple times in the past for asthma. After flipping through these notes Tricia sees that the mother has been counseled repeatedly about the need to stop smoking for the sake of Roses health. Tricia goes to find her attending and presents Roses case highlighting signs of neglect. She then asks whether or not this would be grounds to notify child protective services.
