Study Notes

Poison Exposure Management

Current guidelines discourage the use of ipecac syrup for poison exposure management; it should only be used if specifically instructed by a poison control center or medical team.

Fifth's Disease

A childhood illness marked by a “slapped face” rash and fever.
Transmitted via respiratory route, blood products, and from mother to fetus during pregnancy.
No specific treatment; resolves on its own, with symptomatic care such as NSAIDs for fever, headache, and joint pain, along with rest and fluids.

Anticipatory Guidance

Involves educating parents on expected developmental milestones and behaviors for their child’s current and future developmental stages.

Car Seat Safety in Ohio

Compliance with Ohio laws regarding car seat requirements is based on a child's age, weight, and height.

Regression in Children

Regression involves a return to earlier developmental behaviors due to stress or anxiety, such as bedwetting and wanting parental assistance with basic needs.

Distraction Techniques

Effective method to redirect a child’s attention from unpleasant experiences or medical procedures.

Signs of Pain in Children

Physiological Indicators: Increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, changes in respiratory rate.
Behavioral Indicators: Crying, clinging to caregivers, agitation, or restlessness.

Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Development

Infancy establishes the "trust versus mistrust" crisis; reliance on the caregiver's predictability fosters trust.
Key milestones include:
- Social smile at 2 months
- Recognizes familiar faces by 3 months
- Mirror interaction by 5 months
- Fear of strangers at 6 months

Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development

Infancy corresponds to the sensorimotor stage; knowledge gained through sensory experiences.
Developmental milestones:
- Birth to 1 month: Survival sucking reflexes.
- 1–4 months: Exploration of own body.
- 4–8 months: Increased focus on the environment and objects.
- 8–12 months: Object permanence develops; active exploration of surroundings.

Freud's Stages of Sexual Development

Sexual latency describes the disinterest in sexuality during childhood, occurring after earlier stages focused on oral and anal behaviors.

Nutritional Guidelines

Milk introduction is permissible after the first year of life.

Growth During Preadolescence

A notable growth spurt occurs during the preadolescent phase.

DTaP Administration

Use a 5/8 to 1-inch needle; administer intramuscularly in the thigh for infants and young children, and in the upper arm for older children.

Denver Developmental Screening Tool (DDST)

Standardized tool for assessing child development across personal-social, fine motor-adaptive, language, and gross motor skills; applicable for children up to 6 years old.

Best Activities for Preschoolers

Favorable activities include imaginative play, puzzles, building blocks, and outdoor play to aid physical development.

Hydration Calculations

Calculate hydration needs based on weight:
- 100 ml/kg/24 hrs for the first 10 kg
- 50 ml/kg/24 hrs for the next 10 kg
- 20 ml/kg/24 hrs for each additional kg

Accident Prevention in Children

Implement strategies such as childproofing the home, using safety gates, and securing harmful substances to prevent accidents.

Immunizations for 12-Month-Olds

Required vaccines include DTaP, Hib, PCV, Varicella, and MMR (measles, mumps, rubella).

Teething

Teething typically commences around 6 months but varies by child; symptoms may include irritability and increased saliva.
