NURS 643 Study Guide Exam One Pediatric Health Maintenance Exam Pearls Bright Future Guidelines: preventative services, communication w/fam & providers, integrate community-based health education, health outcomes o Recommendations for pediatric prevention (print out) https://downloads.aap.org/AAP/PDF/periodicity_schedule.pdf Immunizations o Discussion: on time, + language, know misconceptions, vaccine refusal form (cover provider), CDC schedule & catch up o https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/imz-schedules/child-adolescent-age.html# (Print out vaccine schedule: well child, catch up, medical indications) *CDC vaccine Schedule App instead of print* o Misconceptions: https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and- answers/item/vaccines-and-immunization-myths-and-misconceptions 1. Diseases already before vaccines, r/t hygiene & sanitation 2. Majority of people who get disease have been vaccinated 3. Vaccines cause harmful side effects possible long-term effects we don't even know about → SE muscle soreness & fever 4. Vaccine-preventable diseases have been eliminated from my country, so there is no need for my child to be vaccinated. 5. Multiple vaccines for different diseases at the same time the risk of SE – kids are exposed to several antigens everyday 6.
