Developmental disabilities cause individuals living with them many difficulties in certain areas of life, especially in "language, mobility, learning, self-help, and independent living".As a developmental disabilities nurse, your duties will likely include tasks such as assisting with daily hygiene, feeding patients, talking to friends and family, preparing patients for treatment or physical therapy, monitoring progress, and recording vital signs. You could work with patients who are dealing with a single type of developmental disability, or you could work with patients who are dealing with a wide range of problems. Some developmental disabilities nurses work with a specific age group, such as children, while others work at a facility that specializes in a certain type of treatment. You’ll also be tasked with watching for signs of infection, medication complication, or other problems that could lead to serious complications and risks for the patient.
