Description:

Infants and children are not the same size as adults. Each individual requires different treatments and interventions. It is crucial that nurses and other healthcare providers, in every setting, be ready to diagnose and respond as quickly as possible to respiratory and GI conditions.-Related conditions and two of most serious childhood diseases, fever and diarrhea.

Understanding and addressing the root causes of pediatric medical problems is critical for pediatric healthcare providers. These conditions can lead to acute illness, flares, and other complications that may be secondary to physiological and anatomical etiologies.-Increased risk of life-threatening conditions-These are serious complications.

A pediatric patient may present with undiagnosed symptoms due to a multitude of reasons. Does this sound familiar… Your patient’s parents report increasing symptoms over the past 7 to 10 days. He’s “always been a good sleeper” However, his sleep quality is now affected. He is suffering from recurrent fevers that are seemingly unresponsive to anti.-pyretics. He seems restless. “not himself”His appetite and fluid intake are now much lower. His asthma was not severe. “stable”He is now showing increasing symptoms. Albuterol is not working with his wet-cough and making him gag. “vomit”. This case could go south. What speed could that happen?

You will learn how to use symptomology as well as appropriate diagnostics in your differential diagnosis. You You will be able to identify the cause of an illness by learning about its interconnectedness.-New differentiation skills allow us to recognize when it is time to treat symptoms and the relationship between them “cause” Comparing to the “symptom”. You You will be able to quickly and appropriately intervene for young patients you have entrusted to your care.
