Study Notes
Lead Levels in Children
- Normal lead levels: less than 5 µg/dL.
- Abnormal lead levels: greater than 5 µg/dL, particularly concerning above 10 µg/dL.
Normal Lab Values for 9 to 12-Year-Olds
- Complete Blood Count (CBC):
- Hemoglobin: 11.5-15.5 g/dL
- White Blood Cell count: 4,500-13,500 cells/µL
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP):
- Blood glucose: 70-100 mg/dL
- Bilirubin: 0.1-1.2 mg/dL
- Calcium: 8.5-10.5 mg/dL
Dosing Medications in Children
- Dosing based on weight (mg/kg) and not age alone.
- Consideration for body surface area (BSA) for specific medications.
Route of Administration for Medications
- Oral: preferred when possible.
- Intramuscular: for rapid absorption.
- Intravenous: for emergencies or when oral intake is not feasible.
Developmental Milestones
- Included in the child’s history-taking.
- Assessments: physical, cognitive, social, and emotional domains.
Examining a Toddler
- Use play to build rapport; allow the child to explore the office.
- Keep the examination quick and interactive.
Bluish Birthmarks in Infants
- Mongolian spots: blue-gray marks common on the back or buttocks.
- Nevi simplex (stork bites): flat, pink marks between the eyelids or on the nape of the neck.
Pain Assessment Tools for Infants
- FLACC scale: evaluates face, legs, activity, cry, and consolability.
- Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS): based on facial expression and physiological responses.
Healthy Motor Development in Infants
- Typical milestones: rolling over, sitting up, crawling.
- Delays or lack of milestones are considered abnormal.
Infant Senses at Birth
- Vision: limited focus, primarily at 8-12 inches.
- Touch and taste: well-developed; respond to textures and flavors.
Developmental Issues in a 3-Year-Old
- Normal: imaginative play, language development, basic counting.
- Abnormal: lack of social engagement, minimal speech, regression in behavior.
Reflexes in Toddlers
- Normal reflexes: Babinski reflex, grasp reflex, and startle reflex.
- Reflex actions should diminish as the child develops.
Visual Acuity in 5-Year-Olds
- Average visual acuity: 20/40 or better is typical.
- Regular eye exams recommended for early detection.
Factors Affecting Self-Esteem in School-Age Children
- Peer relationships, academic performance, parental support.
- Social feedback can significantly impact self-image.
Recommended Daily Fat Intake for School-Age Children
- Approximately 25-35% of total daily caloric intake from fat.
- Focus on healthy, unsaturated fats.
Tanner Stages
- Measure physical development; stages include prepubertal to mature adult stages.
- Assess secondary sexual characteristics and growth spurts.
First Sign of Puberty in Males
- Testicular enlargement as the first physical change.
First Sign of Puberty in Females
- Breast budding is typically the first sign.
- Menarche follows, usually happening 2-3 years later.
Screening Tool for Adolescents
- The Patient Health Questionnaire for Adolescents (PHQ-A) is recommended for assessing depression and suicidality.
Normal Vital Signs for Full-Term Newborns
- Heart rate: 120-160 beats/min.
- Respiratory rate: 30-60 breaths/min.
- Normal weight: 5.5 - 8.8 lbs.
Abnormal Findings in Newborns
- Signs of concern: lethargy, poor feeding, difficulty breathing, abnormal crying patterns.
- Prompt evaluation is crucial.
Understanding Strabismus
- Strabismus involves misalignment of the eyes, frequently caused by muscle imbalance.
- Early detection is important for treatment.
Hordeolum and Chalazion
- Hordeolum (stye): painful infection usually at the eyelash follicle.
- Chalazion: painless lump resulting from a blocked oil gland.
Obstructed Nasolacrimal Ducts in Infants
- Characterized by excessive tearing and discharge.
- Often resolves spontaneously; massage may aid relief.
Common Ear Infections in Children
- Otitis media is the most prevalent ear infection.
- Symptoms include ear pain, fever, and irritability.
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease
- Viral illness characterized by sores in the mouth and a rash, primarily on hands and feet.
- Highly contagious but typically self-limiting.
Evaluating a Child's Teeth
- Conduct visual exams for cavities; inquire about dental hygiene habits.
- Referral to a pediatric dentist for treatment if cavities are present.
Kidney Tumors in Children
- Symptoms include abdominal mass, pain, and hypertension.
- Treatment often involves surgery and may include chemotherapy.
Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
- Hodgkin's lymphoma: characterized by Reed-Sternberg cells; symptoms include swollen lymph nodes, fever, and night sweats.
- Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: diverse group; symptoms include similar lymphatic issues but without Reed-Sternberg cells; treatment varies based on type.
Parental Education on Infancy Spitting Up
- Normal physiological process in infants; usually resolves with age.
- Strategies: upright positioning during feedings, smaller, more frequent meals.
Lead Levels in Children
- Normal lead levels: less than 5 µg/dL.
- Abnormal lead levels: greater than 5 µg/dL, particularly concerning above 10 µg/dL.
Normal Lab Values for 9 to 12-Year-Olds
