Abstract

Homeostasis has an established and significant role in the adaptability and survival of living organisms. As such, it is essential for clinical healthcare workers such as children’s nurses to comprehend the concept, and grasp the knowledge of homeostasis regulation, including the mechanisms of homeostasis, the systemic approach to homeostasis and dysregulation. Comprehension of associated diagnosis processes, clinical management, and tailored holistic care planning can then be ensured. This article provides an overview of homeostasis and common factors that impact on homeostasis processes. Dysregulation and disease processes are illustrated through a children focused case study, exploring the complexity of homeostatic mechanisms in maintaining a stable internal environment.
