The presentation will include the following: 1. Introduction 2. Practice issue 3. Importance to nurse practitioner practice 4. PICOT question 5. Literature Review 6. Recommendations INTRODUCTION Computed tomography(CT) is frequently used worldwide and allows for the early detection and diagnoses of diseases, provides easy visualization of injuries, and it is used as a supportive guidance during surgical procedures. However, studies suggest that CT radiation exposure during childhood may be a risk factor for developing cancer. Safety measures should be implemented to decrease such risks. (Huang, Liu, He,2020). PRACTICE ISSUE My chosen area of interest is the relationship between computed tomography radiation exposure and cancer development in children and young adults. Issue: The use of computed tomography (CT) has increased dramatically over the past several decades. CT scan parameters are not appropriately adjusted for pediatric patients. PRACTICE ISSUEIMPORTANCE TO NP PRACTICE Family nurse practitioners can: -Advocate for CT justification of use -Provide Education and increase patient and family awareness of the effect of CT scans -Advocate for patient’s safety measures and impact patient outcomes PICOT QUESTION In children and young adults, is the use of reduced dose of radiation exposure of computed tomography (CT) decrease the changes of cancer in comparison to higher dose during their lifetime? P-population The main focus of this PICOT question is the increase risk of developing cancer from exposure to ionizing computed tomography in children and young adults. The lack of justification and the lack of safety measures for CT usage can put this particular population at an increased risk. I- Intervention Balance between CT usag
