Being one of the contemporary roles of the nurses in the literature this role is based on human patient rights.Pediatric nurse has an advocatory role by helping children and parents as to choose the best and informative actions and choices for children. The parents of neonates regard the pediatric nurses as the advocators of the vulnerable babies whose treatments and cares pose preoccupation. The pediatric nurse who cares for the mentally challenged child and his parents at hospitals, clinics and in the society uses her advocatory role by mentoring the family genetically.In line with the advocatory role of the pediatric nurse; a nurse should be qualified enough to have knowledge, skills,and values besides making contact with child and his parents in favour of the child and she should reflect this on her practices.
