Behavioral/Developmental Peds Flashcards

1
Q

Development generals

A

Motor, language, problem solving, psychosocial
Head to toe, prox to distal, gross before fine
Intrinsic and extrinsic factors, dont skip oe skill, go in order, delays in one domain may affect another, or compromise assessment in another
Many of the tests lack sensitivity so listen to the parents!!
DQ = dev. age/chrono age (DQ >85 = normal, <70 = abnormal, followup in between)

Q

General milestone info

A

Primitive reflexes like Moro present at birth, desappear at 3-6 mos, need sensory stim to generate steerotypical motor response, cns injuries = stronger/more sustained.
Postural rxns = parachute rxn, acquired, faciliated orientation of body in space, adjust things. CNS damage = delayed development of postural rxns
Fine motor skills - during first year of life, hands can do more, conrol of distal muscles improves

Social play- parallel play during first 2 years, play together and share at 3 years

23
Q

Cerebral Palsy

A

Static encephalopathies where motor function affected, intelligence may be normal, but CP brain inuries => seizures, cog deficits, MR, learning disab, sensory loss, aud deficits
Timing prenatal or perinatal, .2-.5% incidence, dx from repeated neuro exams w/ spasticit, hypotonia, assym reflexes, weird reflex disappearance

24
Q

CP Risk factors

A 
Maternal = multiple gest, ptl
Prenatal = IUGR< congen malform, TORCH
Perinatal = prolonged/precip/trauma delivery, apgar <3 at 15 min, preemie/postdates
Postnala = HIE, IVH, trauma, kernicterus (bili in brain)
25
Q

Spastic CP

A

Increased tone, can be:

1) Diplegia- weakness in lower more than upper, early rolling over, scissoring, preemie
2) Hemiplegia- unilateral weakness, more upper etremity, early hand pref, grasp on one side- perinatal vasc insult, postnatal trauma, CNS malform
3) Quadriplegia- all limbs/head/neck/scoliosis, weak face, dysphag, GERD/FTT, speechf rom HIE, CNS infec, trauma, malform :(

26

A 
Met abnormalities
Chormo abnormal
Neuron diseases
Degen diseases
SCI, congen myopathy, leukodystrophy, CNS
28

A

Sig discrep between academic achievement vs. age/intelligence
Why? CNS insults, genetic disorders, met disorders, idiopathic (most common)
Types = specific subject or processing
MGMT = special ed, bypass strategies

31

(PDD), prior to 3 yo onset, more in boys, hard to use language to communicate with others, maybe echolalia (repetitive words),
unusual way of relating to others, down eye contact, unusual/restrictive interest range, perseverative heavior/stereotypic mvt, preocupations, self-inj behavior
Clin fx- seizures, MR, chronic diarrhea, constipation, toilet training issue, ear infec, sensory sensitivity

32
Q

Asperger

A

More common in boys, qualitative impairment in peer relationships, restricted/stereotyped behavior, activity, interest
NO language delay, maybe advanced

33
Q

ADHD

A

poor selective attention, hard to focus, distractable, maybe hyperactiveimpulsive, distracted, disinhib, general immature
More in boys, unknnown cause, def genetic (30-50% w/ relative), NT fn dopa and NE
Clin fx- before age 7, in more than one place, impaired fn at school/w relationsh, inattention/organizing issues, hyperactive, impulsive.
Issues w/ classroom conform, social adjust, impaired parent/peer relation, difficult learning

34

Hearing/vision issue, sleep disorder (OSA), food rxn, thyroid, anemia, lead poison, anxiety/dep/bipolar, MR, specific LD, med s/e (albuterol, decongest, antihist,), fam dysfn, normal kid but parents have weird expec, caffeine

35
Q

Diagnose/Manage ADHD

A

Parnt/teacher questionnaires, psychoed testing, direct obs, p/e, use several sources, think abt kid’s strengths
MGMT = demystify (explain to kiddo), modify classroom, edu assist, counsel
Meds = stimulants (improve attention/impulse), MOA = enhance catechol transmission (up dopa and NE)), dose diff, s/e, methyphen and amphetamine
Nonstim also as second line (TCA, clonidine (adrenergic at night))
SSRI if comorbid depression

36
Q

Stimulant side effects?

A

Arex, insomnia, Naus/ab pain, h/a, irritable, CV palipations/HTN, decrease growth velocity, tics (maybe from underlying tourette’s)

37
Q

Hearing Impairment

A

1:600 newborns will get perm hearing loss, early ID key to not delay speech/lang/academic/behav
Genetics = 80% of impairment, recessive. 20% = perinatal,pre/post
Prog factors- degree of loss, etio (inherited fare better than acquired), fam atmosphere, age at onset (before 2 years = disadvg), timing of amplification earlier is better, cochlear implants!
Med eval = complete hx/phys, genetics, CR level (kidney ear alport), viral serologies for TORCH, maybe CT inner ear

38
Q

Visual impaired

A

1:1600 children, classify using measures of corrected acuity
Leading causes = trachoma (biggest worldwide), retinopathy of preemies, congen cataracts
Blind=> delayed loco, less fine motor, difficulty attaching
But get better auditory, haptic perception (feel fac and make an image!)

39
Q

Colic

A

Crying that lasts >3 hours per day, >3 days/ week
Epid = 10%, Why unknown
Clin fx- healthy well fed babies, starts 2-4wks, to 3-4 mos, w/ periods of irritability
Ddx = pain sources/discom like gas, intol, corneal abrasian, OM, test torsion, inguinal hernia, etc
MGMT = reassure parents, comfort baby (decrease sensory stim or increase it, position diff)

40
Q

Enuresis

A

Urinary incontinence beyond age appropriate
Classify= nocturnal versus diurnal, primary (never dry), vs. secondary
Why? More common in boys, 30% 4, 15-20% 5, 10% 6, 3% 12, 15-20% with noc have diurnal

41
Q

More Enuresis

A

Why? genetics on chromo 13, psychosocial- after stressful, chaotic social situation, sleep-arousal issues (deeper sleep), urine volume (lack of variation in daytime release), constipation = comorbid
Eval- hx, p/e (anal wink!), lab eval w/ ua/uc, extra labs of kidney/bladder
MGMT = education/demyst, conidtioning alarm, pharma therapy- ADH/DDAVP (decreases urine volume, but may relapse after meds), TCA
IMPRAMINE most often used!
Also, behavioral mod, diurnal w/ bladder stretching, scheduled voiding

42
Q

Sleep problems

A

1/2 infants have issues (so parents think)
Day/night reverse common in first 4 weeks
Sleep through night (more than 5 hours), 50% babes do it at 3 mos
Abnormal patterns- trained night waking at 4-8 mo, infant can’t resettle w/out parental help, MGMT w/ routines,
trained night feeding- parents keep responding. BE STRONG PARENTS

43
Q

Nightmares/terrors

A 
Mares = after 3 y, maybe at 6 mo! Occur in REM, kid can tell story, MGMT = reassurance, promot regular sleep/habits. 
Terrors = 3-5 years, 90-120 min after sleep onset, in stage 4 non-REM, autonomic arousal, glassy-eyed, kiddo doesn't remember, usual terminate on own
44
Q

Eating issues

A

Over feeding in infancy common
Toddler feeding- food refusal/gorging or not eating enough
App normally down after 1 y/o, control is major issue (autnomy over hunger, MGMT = avoid power struggles, don’t bribe

45
Q

School Phobia

A

Misses school b/c of vague phys complaints
Why? Kid afraid of leaving home, maybe bullies/violence
Sx- ab pain, diarrhea, fatigue, h/a in morning, begin in Sept/Oct, totes fine on weekends
MGMT = hx/pe, return kid to school

46
Q

Temper Tantrums

A

1-3 y/o, frustration or fatigue cause these, poor fine motor skills/less language => more trantrums, not always willful
MGMT = if demanding something, ignore them, wait for them to increase talking

47
Q

Breath holding spells

A

Benign, involuntary, harmless. Why? 5% of kids, 6-18 mo
Types- 1) Cyanotic- kid gets frustrated, cries, cyanotic, maybe apneic/seize
2) Pallid = frightened kid, hypervasovagal, pale/limp
MGMT = reassure, counsel to not resuscitate, iron may help, if from exercise/excitement, do an EKG to r/o dysrhytmia

48
Q

Sibling Rivalry

A

Bid for attn, regressive sx, aggression, arrival fo newbie
MGMT- before baby comes, get kiddo ready, praise maturity

49
Q

Toilet training

A

Bowel control by 29 mo age, 16-48 mo range, bladder control by 32 (18-60)
Prereqs- know words (wet dry, etc), like being dry, recog sensations
Method- encourage, praise, patience, no pressure/force, (avoid power struggle)

50
Q

Discipline issues

A

Teach the child limits, respect right of others, control behavior
Self-control by 3-4 y/o
before 6 mo, no discip. When kid mobile, distract/redirect. 18 mo- 3 y/o, ignore, time out/disapproval. Preschool? Logical consequences (take away toy if used as weapon). After , negotiate/restrict privileges
Rules clear/conc/consistent
Guidelines- apply conseq, make punishment brief/immediate
USE TIMEOUTS EFFECTIVELY!!! 1 min/year of age, no more than 5 min!
