Abstract

This article examines pediatrician–parent interaction in the context of acute pediat- ric encounters for children with upper respiratory infections. Parents and physi- cians orient to treatment recommendations as normatively requiring parent accep- tance for physicians to close the activity. Through acceptance, withholding of acceptance, or active resistance, parents have resources with which to negotiate for a treatment outcome that is in line with their own wants. This article offers evi- dence that even in acute care, shared decision making not only occurs but, through normative constraints, is mandated for parents and physicians to reach accord in the treatment decision.
