Consider aspects of daily life that we focus on most, and certainly high on the list, if not at the very top of the chart, is food. Our first concern may be how to have adequate food or nourishing food or food that just tastes really good. Whatever the priority, food is pretty much understood by everyone to be a need worthy of our full attention at least three times a day.

Week 7: Evaluation and Management of Gastrointestinal Conditions
Consider aspects of daily life that we focus on most, and certainly high on the list, if not at the very top of the chart, is food. Our first concern may be how to have adequate food or nourishing food or food that just tastes really good. Whatever the priority, food is pretty much understood by everyone to be a need worthy of our full attention at least three times a day.
 
Food, as well as water, are essential to life, and nutritious options in particular. But intake of food, water, and other liquids is not enough. The body also must have a well-functioning digestive system to extract the nutrients to feed the cells and produce the energy for all systems to operate. For children, this is especially critical to ensure optimum growth and development.
 
When it functions normally, the pediatric digestive system runs smoothly. However, for just about every child, there are days when it does not; for some children, disruptively often. Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are common complaints in patients from babies to teens. Problems may range from an isolated illness, to chronic issues such as lactose or gluten intolerance, to injuries or malformations of the organs necessary for digestion.
 
Working with families to address GI conditions in children and adolescents can be particularly challenging when management interferes with family food and beverage preferences or involves extreme diligence in choice and preparation. Be mindful of the socio-cultural diversity of your pediatric families and the role that food, including amount, plays in a family’s understanding of “good care” of infants and toddlers, of physical and cognitive development as children grow. Also be aware of how deep stressors such as food insecurity can impact how well families can maintain GI treatment and management plans.
 
This week the Learning Resources and the i-Human Case Study Assignment will help you prepare for treating pediatric patients with gastrointestinal conditions and supporting their families with targeted advice or comprehensive education.
 
Learning Objectives
Students will:
 
Assess pediatric patients with signs of gastrointestinal conditions
Evaluate health conditions of pediatric patients
Formulate differential diagnoses for pediatric gastrointestinal conditions
Analyze socio-cultural needs of pediatric patients and families
Formulate evidence-based treatment and management plans for pediatric patients with gastrointestinal conditions
Recommend evidence-based strategies for educating patients and families on treatment and management of gastrointestinal conditions
 

Analyze socio-cultural needs of pediatric patients and families Formulate evidence-based treatment and management plans for eye, ear, nose, and throat conditions in pediatric patients

Week 4: Evaluation and Management of EENT Conditions
It is the first thing you observe as you meet a young patient—the child’s face: eyes, ears, nose, mouth. So, as this course on primary care shifts from a focus on a child’s whole-body growth and development to specific body structures and systems, it is natural to start with those defining features.
 
Close observation is among your most important tools in caring for children and adolescents. Eyes, ears, nose, and throat (EENT) exams are all part of a well-child visit. Your knowledge of what is normal and what is not will support you in identifying conditions and disorders that can impact children’s sight and hearing, their normal breathing, and restful sleep.
 
Assessing and evaluating EENT conditions may require your detective skills of observing, listening, and careful questioning. Or, in cases of injury to eyes, an object in a child’s ear or nose, or an obvious throat issue, the problem and your needed response may be immediately clear. The Learning Resources this week provide knowledge and recommendations for preparing for pediatric patients with a range of possible EENT conditions and emergencies, and for making diagnoses and determining treatments.
 
Keep in mind the importance of your relationship with parents and guardians. The more you understand about a family and the greater the cooperative bond you form, the more effective the management strategies you can provide.
 
This week you will further your preparation in all of these aspects of pediatric care as you complete your i-Human Case Study in evaluating and managing EENT conditions.

? Explain what most excites and/or concerns you about pediatric clinical
experiences. Include a description of your strengths and weaknesses in terms
of working with children and how these strengths and weaknesses might
impact your Practicum experience.
? Discuss your personal definition of family and family roles that might
impact the assessment of a child and his or her family. Also expand your

The number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder has risen dramatically during the past few decades. Researchers are now calling it an urgent health matter; some are even calling it an epidemic. Between 1991 and 1999, the number of children in the United States receiving special education services for autism spectrum disorder rose 500%. The rate has nearly doubled in the past ten years across the country. In 2002, the rate of children with autism spectrum disorder was 1 in every 150 children. Currently, approximately 1 in every 88 children has autism spectrum disorder. This increase is happening not only in the United States; studies have found rates to be rising in Canada and across Europe, as well. Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, research the increase in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder. Then, respond to the following: Identify and explain at least three possible causes for the increase in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder. Analyze why so many children are developing autism spectrum disorder.

Assignment 1: Discussion—Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Epidemic
 
The number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder has risen dramatically during the past few decades. Researchers are now calling it an urgent health matter; some are even calling it an epidemic. Between 1991 and 1999, the number of children in the United States receiving special education services for autism spectrum disorder rose 500%. The rate has nearly doubled in the past ten years across the country. In 2002, the rate of children with autism spectrum disorder was 1 in every 150 children. Currently, approximately 1 in every 88 children has autism spectrum disorder. This increase is happening not only in the United States; studies have found rates to be rising in Canada and across Europe, as well.
Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, research the increase in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder. Then, respond to the following:

Identify and explain at least three possible causes for the increase in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder.
Analyze why so many children are developing autism spectrum disorder.

Do you think the numbers have increased due to improved methods of identifying and diagnosing children with autism spectrum disorder? Why or why not?
Are there some environmental, genetic, or cultural reasons for the increase? Explain your answer.

Recommend what we should do, as a society, to address this epidemic.

Write your initial response in 300–500 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources, including in-text citations and full references. Incorporate information from at least two academic sources to support your statements or ideas. Academic sources could include your textbook, required readings for this module, or academic journal articles found in the AU online library.
