Practice Improvement
We have a large pediatric Latino population in our public health practice. These families are often seen by nurses at both the health center and on home visits prenatally. Nurses can instruct families on proper care and hygiene of the uncircumcised penis, as well as bathing and skin care of the newborn. Other potential social and cultural barriers to care should also be addressed, including transportation, insurance coverage, and language barriers.
