Thelma Newsom, The Importance Of Infant Screening, Final Project Due 12 10 09...Angie Newsom
Infant screenings are important to check for potential health issues or developmental delays. Screenings can check vision, hearing, health, and development. They are conducted by trained professionals at well-baby checkups. Screenings help detect issues early so they can be addressed properly to support the child's healthy development. They check growth, motor skills, social skills, and more. Identifying potential problems early allows for early intervention.
Preventive pediatrics in Child Health NursingDhara Vyas
Preventive pediatrics has been defined as the prevention of diseases and the promotion of physical, mental, and social well-being for children to reach optimal growth and development.
This document discusses an apparent life threatening event (ALTE) in a 2 month old infant who turned blue and stopped breathing before waking up after 1-2 minutes of stimulation. It defines ALTE and notes that it is not a specific diagnosis but describes a symptom that brings an infant for medical attention. The document outlines the extensive differential diagnosis for ALTE and discusses the important diagnostic evaluation, history taking, physical exam and initial management based on likely etiology. It also discusses common causes, risk factors, and strategies to communicate with parents to reduce risks of SIDS.
This document provides an overview of the management of pervasive developmental disorder (autism). It begins with a brief history and description of autism. It then discusses clinical presentation including deficits in social behavior, communication problems, and unusual behaviors. It covers assessment, diagnosis, treatment including educational, behavioral and medical interventions, and prognosis. Treatment is multidisciplinary and individualized, aiming to minimize core deficits and maximize independence. Speech/language therapy, developmental therapies, and behaviorally-based treatments are commonly used. Medications may help target specific symptoms but do not impact core deficits. The prognosis is variable, with early diagnosis/treatment and no cognitive impairment predicting better outcomes.
This document discusses the management of pervasive developmental disorder (autism). It begins with a brief history of autism from Kanner's initial description in 1943. It then describes the core characteristics and clinical presentation of autism including deficits in social behavior, communication problems, and unusual behaviors. It discusses the rising rates of autism as well as common comorbid conditions. Etiology is unknown but believed to have a biological basis. Prognosis varies but symptoms typically persist throughout life.
This document discusses common problems in early childhood development such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep issues, habit disorders like thumb sucking, pain, bedwetting, and encopresis. It notes the symptoms and risk factors for each problem, and provides brief treatment recommendations. For example, it suggests that anxiety may be related to temperament, parental modeling of anxiety, and lack of autonomy. It also notes that ADHD behaviors are more common in boys starting at age 3 and discusses the use of operant conditioning and modeling positive behaviors in child therapy.
This document provides an overview of key differences between pediatric and adult patients that are important for emergency medical responders. It discusses anatomical, skeletal, airway, breathing, circulation, and developmental differences. It also reviews common pediatric emergencies like fever, dehydration, respiratory distress, and poisoning. Treatment priorities for pediatric patients focus on maintaining the ABCs. Responders must also consider appropriate communication and transport when treating pediatric patients.
1) The document provides a history of autism, tracing it back to 1911 when the term was first coined by Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler. It discusses key figures like Leo Kanner and Hans Asperger who further studied and characterized autism in the 1940s.
2) Signs and symptoms of autism are outlined, including issues with social skills, language, behavior, and sensory processing. Common comorbid conditions like ADHD and OCD are also noted.
3) Prevalence rates of autism are increasing, with current statistics of 1 in 88 children in the US being on the autism spectrum. Boys are much more likely to be diagnosed than girls.
The integrated case management process is used to assess, classify, treat and provide follow-up care for sick children ages 1 week to 5 years who present at first-level health facilities. The process involves assessing the child for symptoms and nutrition status, classifying illnesses using color-coded categories, identifying and providing treatment according to the classification, counseling the mother, and arranging follow-up care. Urgent referrals are made for severe classifications while milder cases receive on-site treatment and instructions for home care. The goal is to effectively manage the most common life-threatening childhood illnesses.
Autism is a general term used to describe a group of complex developmental brain disorders known as Pervasive Developmental Disorders. Autism is characterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication. While the causes of autism are unknown, early detection and specialized treatment can help children with autism improve their social and language skills through therapies like speech, occupational, and physical therapy. Researchers believe early intervention may improve outcomes for people with autism. There are no known ways to prevent autism, though minimizing factors like antibiotic use, vaccinations, and certain foods in early childhood may potentially lower risk.
