Pediatric Clinical Pearl Case Study Assignment

Pediatric Clinical Pearl Case Study Assignment

The purpose of the assignment is to guide students in identifying behaviors and interactions that commonly occur during the health history portion of a well-child exam. In doing so, students can develop strategies to improve anticipatory guidance and health education by using effective, non-biased, and non-judgmental communication.

Activity Learning Outcomes
Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:

Synthesize information in which addresses child health promotion, developmental surveillance, observation of parent-child interaction, anticipatory guidance, social determinants of health, and/or cultural competence.

As you view the video, observe the parent-child and the parent-provider interactions. Pay particular attention to the parent’s responses to the provider’s questions making note of inappropriate and appropriate responses.

Choose five (5) topics from the following categories to complete the assignment:
Cognitive Developmental Milestones
Physical Developmental Milestones
Social-Emotional Developmental Milestones
Safety
Alcohol/Substance Use
Environmental Health Risks
Temper Tantrums and Discipline
Sleep Routines
Car Seat Safety
Healthy Teeth
You will develop and complete a table for each one of the five (5) categories using the example below as a guide. (Note: There are at least 10 categories addressed in the video, you must choose five (5) and create a separate table for each one).
For each of the tables, complete each section:
Issue: Category name
Negative interaction/behavior: What did you see or hear that was inappropriate?
Positive interaction/behavior: What did you see that was appropriate?
Guidelines/recommendation: What does the research recommend?
Scholarly reference: Must be in APA format within the table.
Professional/Ethical Communication: How will provide non-judgmental and non-bias education regarding the issue identified? Needs to be at least 3 sentences. Helpful Hints: Acknowledge how they feel, state the facts, and provide education or re-frame the approach.
Scholarly references should be peer-reviewed, preferably a Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG), intended for providers (MDs, NPs) and no more than 5 years old (unless it is a clinical practice guideline’s most recent update).
Preparing the Paper
The table provided below is an example only. It cannot be used to satisfy the requirements for any part of the assignment.
You may format your tables according to your preference, but APA format is required for the reference column.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT (SECOND ATTACHMENT) MUST READ IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE ASSIGNMENT

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
