Assignment Week 4:
Assignment 1: Application – Protocol for Diagnosis, Management, and Follow-Up Care of Growth and Development and Psychosocial Issues
As pediatric patients grow from infancy to adolescence, there are many common growth and development and psychosocial issues that may potentially present. As an advanced practice nurse caring for these patients, you must be able to recognize red flags and select age-appropriate assessment and treatment options. In this Assignment, you prepare for your role in clinical settings as you design an age-specific protocol for the diagnosis, management, and follow-up care for a common growth and development or psychosocial issue.
To prepare:
· Reflect on the age group and the growth and development or psychosocial issue that you selected in Week 2.
· Think about the epidemiology of the issue.
· Consider an age-appropriate protocol for the diagnosis, management, and follow-up care of the issue you selected.
· Think about how culture might impact the care of patients that present with this issue.
To complete:
Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
· Explain a growth and development or psychosocial issue that might present in the age group you selected. Include the epidemiology of the issue in your explanation.
· Explain an age-appropriate protocol for the diagnosis, management, and follow-up care of this issue.
· Explain how culture might impact the care of patients who present with the growth and development or psychosocial issue you selected.
Week 4: Journal (Please see Rubric for Guidance in writing the Journal).
Assignment 2: Practicum – Journal Entry
Reflect on a patient who presented with a behavioral or mental health issue during your Practicum experience. Describe your experience in assessing and managing the patient and his or her family. Include details of your “aha” moment in identifying the patient’s behavioral or mental health issue. Then, explain how the experience connected your classroom studies to the real-world clinical setting. If you did not have an opportunity to evaluate a patient with this background during the last 4 weeks, you may select a related case study from a reputable source or reflect on previous clinical experiences.
