    Study Notes

    Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine Module 3: H&P; Well-Child Checks

    • This module focuses on well-child checks in pediatrics, covering infants, toddlers, and school-aged children.

    Introduction to Development & Growth: Pediatric Health Maintenance

    • Pediatric health maintenance begins immediately after birth, focusing on growth and developmental milestones.
    • Routine screening is used to identify potential issues early.
    • Resources such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, Bright Futures, the Center for Disease Control, the NM Department of Health, and the CDC are utilized.

    Development

    • Child development encompasses four domains: physical/motor skills, cognitive skills, language skills, and behavioral/social-emotional/mental health.
    • Well-child checks aim to detect developmental delays or risk factors.

    4 Principles of Child Development

    • Development is predictable and its trajectory is measurable.
    • Wide range of norms exists based on age, sex, and individual rates.
    • Developmental level and understanding norms are needed to conduct accurate health assessments.
    • Factors such as physical, social, environmental, and illnesses affect development.
    • History and physical (H&P) are variable depending on developmental level and understanding of norms.

    To Recognize Abnormal Growth

    • Determinants of growth include maternal nutrition, intrauterine environment, genetics, environment & diet, and chronic illness.
    • Growth patterns can be predictable, pulsatile, or seasonal.
    • Parameters of growth include weight, length/height, weight-for-length, BMI, head circumference, and Tanner stages.

    Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)

    • Early life stressors and adverse childhood events (ACEs) negatively impact growth and development.
    • Maltreatment, poverty, family instability, unsafe neighborhoods, lead exposure, and racism are examples of SDOH that have negative impacts.
    • Negative effects include inadequate coping skills, difficulty regulating emotions, reduced social functioning, cognitive delays, poor academic achievement, and chronic diseases.

    Overcoming Adversity: Early Childhood Programs

    • High-quality developmental and educational programs, such as Head Start, are essential for improving early childhood outcomes.
    • Such programs improve health, learning, social skills, and school readiness.
    • These programs involve school meals, home visitations, and supportive social services, including classes for parents.

    Well-Child Checks: Why?

    • Well-child checks aim at illness prevention through immunizations and safety/nutrition discussions.
    • They track growth and development, including milestones, social behaviors, and learning.
    • They also address parental concerns about sleeping, eating, development, and social interactions.
    • A team approach strengthens trustworthy relationships to better serve infants, children, and adolescents.

    Developmental Screening Tools

    • Examples include the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3), used for 1 to 5.5-year-olds, and covering communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving and personal-social skills.
    • Standardized screening tools for 9-month, 18-month, and 24- or 30-month well-child check-ups should be administered. Gross motor milestones at various ages are to be observed.

    Pediatric History (Infants & Toddlers)

    • Comprehensive history taking includes birth history, medical history, family history, social history, and developmental milestones.
    • Feeding patterns, sleeping habits, stooling and urination, and vaccinations are also crucial elements.

    Examples of Infant and Toddler Norms

    • Feeding patterns for infants and toddlers, ranging from newborns to toddlers and beyond
    • Sleeping habits for infants and toddlers
    • Stools and urine frequency for infants and toddlers

    History: School-Aged Children

    • Involves similar components of the well-child visit, like birth and medical history, family history, and social history
    • Developmental milestones, feeding patterns, sleeping habits, vaccinations, and school performance are recorded.

    Pediatric Vital Signs

    • A table listing normal vital signs across different age groups in pediatrics (newborn-13+ year olds).
    • Includes heart rate, respiratory rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure for each age group.

    Examples of Pediatric Growth Charts

    • Growth charts are crucial for monitoring physical development
    • Charts provided include WHO for 0-2 years, CDC for 2-20 years, Down Syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy.
    • Using charts helps track growth compared to population norms.

    Normal Variants in Growth

    • Different types of growth patterns are described, including constitutional delay, familial short stature, congenital GH deficiency, and Turner Syndrome.

    Growth Chart Practice

    • Includes plotting the growth of 1-year-old male, 4-year-old female, and 9-year-old male on appropriate growth charts.

    Well-Child Checks: Components

    • Discusses the context of the visit, priorities of the visit, and health supervision aspects in a well-child visit
    • Context includes age and development, surroundings, and family needs
    • Priorities include family concerns, health concerns, and surveillance of development
    • Health supervision includes history, surveillance, observing interaction with others, screening, and vaccinations

    Timing of WCC: Infants, Toddlers & Children

    • A suggested schedule for well-child check-ups throughout different age ranges (Newborn to 10 years of age)

    Class Discussion: Infants

    • Discusses unique and challenging aspects of examining infants, along with well-child visit components

    Childhood Vaccines

    • The need for and required vaccines for 1 day old, 6 months old, 15 months old, 5 years old, and 10 years old is emphasized.

    Class Discussion: Toddlers & School-aged Children

    • Discusses unique and challenging aspects of examining toddlers and school-aged children and components of well-child visits

    A note on lead screening

    • All children enrolled in NM Medicaid, at 12 months and 24 months must be screened for lead.
    • Levels should be under 5mcg/dL
    • Retesting and follow-up is required if lead levels are above 5 mcg/dL

    Group Work: 6 mo old WCC

    • A case study of a 6-month-old female, including her nutrition, sleep, elimination, and measurements.
    • Questions are posed regarding growth, immunizations, developmental milestones, introducing solids, anticipatory guidance, and universal screening.

    Additional questions and prompts (Page 25, 26, 27)

    • Questions regarding growth, immunizations, milestones, solid introduction, guidelines, and screenings are provided; answering them involves applying learned concepts to hypothetical cases.
