Remember the Red Book

The Red Book is a useful document to take to hospital with a child and their parent(s) (Newell & Darling, 2014: 9).

What red flags need to be looked out for in a child?

According to Bruga et al (2013), the red flags to look out for range from those which directly concern a child's vital signs to states such as 'seizures', rashes and 'haemorrhage' (Bruga et al, 2013: 12). For the full list, please see the image below.
