Goals of pediatric visits
Disease detection, disease prevention, health promotion, anticipatory guidance
Components of pediatric visit
- interval history
- ROS
- Surveillance of development
- Observation of parent/child interaction
- physical exam (measurement of growth)
- Screening (universal, risk assessment)
- Immunizations
- Anticipatory guidance (social determinants of health)
What is one thing you should always ask during interval history?
Are there any parental concerns?
What are social aspects of health
living situation, family supports, food insecurity, substance use, partner violence
What drives development across a lifespan
ecology and biology
Biology
physiologic adaptations and disruptions
Ecology
The social and physical environment
Development
Learning, behavior and health
Child stressors
abuse, neglect, chronic fear state, natural disaster, accidents and illness, exposure to violence, disabilities/chronic disease
Parent/family stressors
parental dysfunction, substance abuse, domestic violence, mental illness, divorce, poverty
Positive physiologic stress response
brief duration, mild/moderate severity, sufficient social/emotional buffering, long-term return to baseline
Tolerable physiologic stress response
sustained duration, moderate/severe severity, sufficient social/emotional buffering, long-term return to baseline
Toxic physiologic stress response
sustained duration, severe severity, insufficient social-emotional buffering, long term changes to baseline
Surveillance of development are also called
milestones
4 main areas of milestones
- social and emotional
- language and communication skills (expressive and receptive)
- Gross motor skills
- Fine motor skills
When are milestone checks done?
