    Study Notes

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

    • This module focuses on well-child checks in pediatrics and adolescent medicine.
    • Well-child checks aim to identify developmental delays or risks in children.
    • Child development includes four key domains: physical/motor skills, cognitive skills, language skills, and behavioral/social-emotional/mental health.
    • Developmental milestones are tracked from birth.
    • Screening tools, such as the ASQ-3, aid in identifying developmental concerns.
    • Key factors affecting development include physical, social, and environmental elements.
    • Development is predictable, measurable, and has a variable pathway.

    Introduction to Development & Growth: Pediatric Health Maintenance

    • Growth and development are monitored from birth.
    • Screening helps to ensure that no issues are missed.
    • Resources, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control, are used.

    4 Principles of Child Development

    • Development is predictable.
    • Pathways are measurable.
    • There's a range of norms in development.
    • Individual rates of development vary.
    • The History and Physical (H&P) is variable, depending on the child's developmental level and understanding of norms.

    To Recognize Abnormal Growth

    • Key determinants of growth include maternal nutrition, intrauterine environment, genetics, environment and diet, and chronic illnesses.
    • Parameters of growth include weight, length/height, weight-for-length or BMI, head circumference, and Tanner stages.
    • Understanding normal growth patterns is essential to identify abnormalities.

    How do Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) affect growth and development?

    • Early life stressors and adverse childhood events (ACEs) can negatively affect growth and development.
    • Negative effects include difficulties with coping skills, emotional regulation, reduced social functioning, cognitive delays, poor academic achievement, chronic diseases, and tobacco, alcohol, and drug use.
    • Maltreatment, poverty, family instability, unsafe neighborhoods, lead exposure, and racism are some examples of SDoH.

    Overcoming Adversity: Early Childhood Programs

    • High-quality developmental and educational programs (like Head Start) are essential for improving outcomes.
    • These programs improve health outcomes, learning, social skills, and school readiness.
    • Supportive social services and classes for parents can aid children's academic achievement.

    Well Child Checks (Why?)

    • Well-child checks are essential for preventing illness via immunizations and promoting safety.
    • Monitoring growth and development helps detect milestones, social behaviors, and learning patterns.
    • Identifying parental concerns is vital and helps with sleeping, eating, development, and interactions with others.
    • A team approach fosters strong relationships and addresses various needs of infants, children, and adolescents.

    Standardized Developmental Screening Tools

    • At minimum, screenings should occur at 9-months, 18-months, and 24 or 30-months of age, and any time concerns are raised.
    • Examples of gross motor milestones include those like chin-up, visual tracking, reaching, sitting, unassisted, pincer grasp, crawling, and standing/cruising, with approximate ages.

    Examples of Developmental Screening tools

    • The Ages and Stages Questionnaire® (ASQ-3) assesses communication, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, problem-solving, and personal-social development.

    Pediatric History (Infants and Toddlers)

    • History encompasses birth, medical, family, social, developmental milestones.
    • Key elements include feeding, sleeping, stooling/urination, and vaccinations.

    Examples of Infant and Toddler Norms

    • Typical feeding patterns (e.g., formula, solids, milk).
    • Sleeping durations and frequency (e.g., newborns sleep more than toddlers).
    • Stooling and urination frequencies.

    History: School-Aged Children (4-11yrs)

    • History includes birth (if applicable), medical, family, and social histories.
    • Key elements include developmental milestones, feeding, sleeping, vaccinations, and school performance/

    Pediatric Vital Signs

    • Vital signs like heart rate, respiratory rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure vary across different age groups.

    Examples of Pediatric Growth Charts

    • Growth charts are used to track child growth and compare to standards.
    • Different charts exist for various ages and groups (e.g., WHO for 0-2 years, CDC for 2-20 years).

    Normal Variants in Growth

    • Variations, such as constitutional delay, familial short stature, congenital GH deficiency, and Turner syndrome, affect growth patterns.

    Growth Chart Practice

    • Plot children's growth parameters on appropriate growth charts.

    Well-Child Checks: Components

    • Visit context considers child's age and development.
    • The agenda centers on family needs.
    • Health supervision includes development history, observation of interaction, screenings, and vaccinations.

    Timing of WCC: Infants, Toddlers & Children

    • Specific schedules exist for well-child check-ups at various ages (i.e., newborns, 1-week old, 1, 2, 4..., 18 months).
    • Routine checkup is recommended regularly through childhood and adolescence.

    Class Discussion: Infants

    • Special aspects/challenges of examining infants.

    Childhood Vaccines: Practice!

    • Vaccination schedule for various ages.

    Toddlers & School-aged Children

    • Unique examination considerations and well-child visit structure for this age group.

    A note on Lead Screening

    • Lead testing is required for all children enrolled in NM Medicaid at 12 and 24 months.

    Group Work: 6 mo old WCC

    • Case study involving a 6-month-old child for a well-check.
    • Includes questions regarding growth, immunizations, milestones, solid food introduction, anticipatory guidelines and universal screening
