, Patient Information
Name: Emily Carter
Age: 5 years old
Gender: Female
Chief Complaint: Cough and trouble breathing
Informant: Mother (primary caregiver), present during the visit;
Emily provides limited, age-appropriate input
Case Overview
Emily Carter, a 5-year-old female, presents to the pediatric primary care
clinic with her mother, who reports a persistent cough and difficulty
breathing for three days. The i-Human simulation for NRNP 6512 (Week
4) is designed to develop advanced pediatric health assessment skills,
requiring learners to gather a thorough history from the caregiver and
patient, perform a focused, child-friendly physical exam, formulate a
differential diagnosis for respiratory symptoms, order targeted
diagnostic tests, and develop an evidence-based, family-centered
management plan. This case emphasizes clinical reasoning, sensitivity
to pediatric developmental needs, effective caregiver communication,
and integration of 2025 healthcare technologies to optimize care.
