I won’t be making another one of these for FNP2 or FNP3 – so don’t bother looking for it. This took too much time to create.

should not be delayed due to minor illnesses, even if they illicit low-grade fever. However, for
moderate to severe infections, vaccinations could be postponed. Premature infants should follow
a schedule for immunizations based on their chronological age, not their gestational age. Vaccine
doses should not be adjusted (reduced) for premature or low-birthweight patients. Chronic
diseases are not outright contra-indications; however, vaccination with DTaP should be deferred
until the neurologic condition has been clarified and/or is stable.
Rotavirus vaccines –
• Rotarix –doses s/b given 28 days apart – for infants, given at age 2 mo and 4 mo. –
completed by 24 weeks.
• Rotateq – 3 doses completed by 32 weeks of age.
Immunodeficient children should not be given live-virus vaccines. These include –
• Oral polio vaccine [OPV, not available in the United States]
• Rotavirus
• MMR
• VAR
, • MMRV
• yellow fever
• LAIV (live attenuated)
• Live-bacteria vaccines (BCG or live typhoid fever vaccine).
If malignancy is in remission or chemo hasn’t been administered within 90 days they can receive
live virus vaccine.
Known allergies and vaccines –
MMR, IPV, and VAR contain microgram quantities of neomycin, and IPV also contains trace
amounts of streptomycin and polymyxin B; children with known anaphylactic responses to
these antibiotics should not be given these vaccines.
Trace quantities of egg antigens may be present in both inactivated and live influenza and yellow
fever vaccines. Guidelines for influenza vaccination in children with egg allergies have recently
changed. The trace amounts of egg protein are generally considered below the threshold needed
to induce an allergic reaction and there has been no increased risk of anaphylaxis documented in
children with severe egg allergies. Therefore, children with severe egg allergy can be vaccinated
with influenza vaccine with no special precautions beyond those for any other vaccine.
RV vaccine –
Rare incidence (1 in 20k-100k) of intussusception. Med should be avoided in pt’s w/ hx of
chronic GI issues (Hirschsprung’s dz, hx of intussusception, or immune conditions. RV1 should
not be given to infants with a severe latex allergy; container for RV1 med has latex. Both
vaccines (RV1 + RV5) are contraindicated in infants with severe combined immunodeficiency
(SCID). RV vaccines should be avoided in infants whose mother received a biologic response
modifier (eg, etanercept) during pregnancy. Vaccination should be deferred in infants with acute
moderate or severe gastroenteritis. Hospitalized children should wait until post discharge to
receive their first dose.
Dẹvẹlopmẹntal >>
Typical things children should be able to do, by age –
• They can lift their heads with good control at 3 months.
• Sit independently at 6 months – question involved a 4mo.
• What can they do at 4mo??
• Roll over from front to back by 6 months?
• Hand to hand transfer 5-6 months.
• Pincer grasp 8-10 months.
• crawl at 9 months.
• Pinch grasp at 12 months.
• walk at 1 year.
o The child learning to walk has a wide based gait at first. Next, he or she walks
with legs closer together, the arms move medially, a heel toe gait develops, and
the arms swing symmetrically by 18–24 months.
• Feed self by 15 months.
• Scoop with a spoon, throw ball at 18 months.
• run by 18 months.
, • 18 months – would be concerning if they are not making eye contact or feeding
themselves.
• Speech / language –
o Babbling reaches a peak at age 12 months.
o The child then moves into a stage of having needs met by using individual words
to represent objects or actions. It is common at this age for children to express
wants and needs by pointing to objects or using other gestures.
o Children usually have 5–10 comprehensible words by 12–18 months; by age 2
years they are putting 2–3 words into flexible phrases, 50% of which strangers
can understand and fluidly use about 50 words for various needs.
o The acquisition of expressive vocabulary expands significantly between 12 and 24
months of age. As they age, children become more understanding.
o By kindergarten age – they can understand 100% of the language.
o approximately 75% of speech understandable at 3 years old,
o about 100% of speech is understandable by 4 years old.
Tannẹr Stagẹs >>
System for describing predictable steps during sexual maturation.
Centers on two, independent criteria –
• Appearance – pubic hair in males and females
• Genital development –
o Males – increased testicular volume, penile growth.
o Females – breast development
Tannẹr Stagẹs – bẹ ablẹ to stagẹ bỵ agẹ.
• Stage 1 – pre-pubertal
o No pubic hair, either sex
• Stage 2 –
o Soft pubic hair, both sexes
o M – measurable testes enlargement
o F – breast buds appear
• Stage 3 –
o Pubic hair becomes coarser.
o M – penis begins to enlarge in size, length
o F – breast mounds form
• Stage 4 –
o Pubic hair begins to cover the pubic area.
o M – penis begins to widen
o F – breast enlargement forms “mound on mound” breast contour
• Stage 5 – adult
o Pubic hair extends to the inner thigh.
o M – penis, tests enlarge to adult size
o F – breast takes on adult contour
