Abstract
The Pediatric Endocrinology Nursing Society (PENS) is committed to the advancement of the art and science of pediatric endocrinology nursing. Stimulation (provocative) testing is an important part of the endocrine clinical evaluation of children and adolescents to assess the function of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal and gonadal axes and determine appropriate treatment. PENS recognizes that nurses have a critical role as advocates for safe and reliable stimulation testing to produce valid clinical results to guide the treatment of endocrine disorders in children. This position statement outlines recommendations for healthcare facilities to provide safe, high quality, culturally sensitive, family-centered care that promotes the well-being and development of the child and supports exceptional pediatric nursing care for endocrine stimulation testing.
