Synopsis of General Pediatric Assessment & Child Development
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 6 general ways kids are not small adult | head disproportionately large, higher metabolic rate, greater insensible losses, immature temp reg, immature immune system, less oerall organ maturation |
| 4 differences in pediatric skin | thinner/more sensitive, less subcutaneous fat, grater body surface area to wt ration, viral/bact/fungal rashes (especially perianal) |
| neurological difference in children (3) | all brain cells present at birth, not matured until 5/6 yrs age; brain tissue softer, thinner, more flexible & sensitive to injury, infections, toxins; Brain recovers better |
| Pulmonary differences in children (3) | smaller airway, higher resting respiratory rate, use of accessory muscles may be normal finding |
| Cardiac differences in children (7) | Circulatory volume 80-90ml/kg, increase in CO is maintained by increasing HR not SV; Hypotension is a LATE sign of shock; less dysrhythmias seen; more congenital heart disease seen; sinus arrhythmia normal; innocent murmurs may be present |
| what is an 'innocent murmur" | normal heart sound in children: soft, low pitched, short duration, during systole, @ 2nd & 3rd L IC space, do not radiate, disappear with position change |
| Pediatric Shock | tachy or bradycardia, Decreased perfusion to skin/brain/kidneys, hypotension is LATE sign, clinical presentation often worsens proior to VS change |
| Components of a pediatric history | prenata/birth hx, infant feeding type (breast vs formula, solids), eating pattern, fluid intake, elimination, sleep, rashes, jaundice, social history (who lives in home, pets, family structure, current Rx, recreational Rx/eoth/smokign, ROS, CC |
| Pediatric Well Child Check ups (WCC) | Nurtition, Ht, wt, BMI, head circumference, social hx; childhood illnesses, developmenatl concers, potential for abuse/neglect, allergies/IZ, USE GROWTH CHART |
| communication with children | Position at child’s eye level Talk quietly Be specific/positive Use concrete terms Offer choices when you can Be honest |
| how to approach the toddler for PE | Use security objects Let handle equipment Use play to distract Call by name Praise frequently PE: Let parent hold child Chest to toe/then head Perform necessary exam quickly |
| How to approach the Preschooler | Likes to please Expose minimally Give child choice of where exam is to take place |
| How to approach the school age child | Provide privacy Involve child Teach about body |
| How to approach the adolescent | Give choice to have parent in room Explain confidentiality Ask about: Home Education/Employment Activities/Exercise Drugs/Smoking Diet Sex practices Depression Suicide ideation |
| Initial assessment | VS, HT, WT, HC, Age/proportionate size Tanner stage, General apperience; well versus ill, LOC, muscle tone, Respiratory effort, Color/perfusion Distress/pain Skin integrity/rashes, Communication. Denver Devel test to assess development< 6yr |
| PE: skin | Skin Color/temperature Nail beds/cap refill Turgor/pulses Lesions/rashes Peri-anal “Diaper” rash Anal fissure/abscess Male genitalia Circumcision Urethral orifice Female genitalia Vagina labia/discharge Urethral orifice |
| PE: HEENT | Head: Shape,fontanels,hair pattern/texture Eyes: Pupil, acuity, nystagmus, Tearing/drainage, Sclera, EOM, Ears Deformity/placement, Hearing, canals, TM. Nares: Drainage/patency, flaring, epistaxis. Mouth & pharynx, Neck: head control, lymph,ROM |
| PE: chest | WOB, Retractions Rate/rhythm Symmetry Nipple appearance/discharge Lung sounds Adventitious breath sounds Air exchange, Heart sounds Rate/rhythm/murmur S1 and S2/extra heart sounds PMI at 4th ICS > 7 year old Sinus arrhythmia normal |
| Innocent murmur | Innocent Murmurs Soft, low pitched, musical Short duration Occurs during systole Heard at 2nd & 3rd left interspace Do not radiate Disappear with position change |
| PE: abdomen/ Pelvis | Contour/movement Bowel sounds Check umbilicus Liver/spleen/kidneys Palpate for tenderness/masses Prominent in infants & children |
| PE: Musculoskeletal | Posture/position/gross deformity Bone/joint tenderness/deformity ROM/flexibility Muscle size/symmetry/strength Configuration/mobility of spine/back Scoliosis Coordination Bowlegs common < 2 years/age “Knock knees” common 2-7 years/age |
| PE: Neruological | Cephalo caudal progression Mental status changes/LOC Sensory/motor recognition Fine/gross motor skills Coordination/balance Cranial nerves Changes from baseline |
| GENERAL RULES FOR WORKING WITH CHILDREN | Family centered care Provide appropriate choices Understand developmental level Allow time for play Encourage having familiar objects "Kid friendly foods” Small portions “grazing” Open communication Respect/kindness to child/family |
| Resp Red Flags in Kids | Respiratory RR >60 or <12/ air exchange Tachypnea/retractions/nasal flaring/grunting Head bobbing/LOC Cyanosis = LATE sign |
| Shock in kids | Shock Tachycardia/bradycardia decreased perfusion to skin/brain/kidneys Hypotension = LATE sign |
| Red flags in children | decreased LOC Temperature alterations Hypoglycemia/dehydration Suspicious trauma/neglect Pain |
| Cognitive Development Milestones | Month 3-5 Attends to/reaches for object Month 4-8 Pulls string to secure a ring Month 8-15 Imitates patting a doll Month 14-20 Finds hidden object Month 18-28 Completes simple puzzles |
