Your next patient is a 5-year-old child with a history of moderate persistent
asthma. He has been wheezing and coughing for the past two days, and his
mother brings him in today for evaluation. He has been using albuterol every four
hours. His respiratory rate is 13 breaths per minute; his lungs are clear to
auscultation; and no retractions are noted. What may be your assessment and
intervention based on this information?
Your child is breathing slower than normal for his age. We need to send him to the ER
for further intervention.
Your next patient is a 6-year-old male here for his annual influenza vaccine. He
has a history of mild persistent asthma. What would you discuss for medications
when reviewing his asthma action plan?
Your child should continue his low-dose inhaled corticosteroid daily and add albuterol as
needed for an exacerbation.
A child who has been diagnosed with asthma for several years has been using a
short-acting Beta-agonist (SABA) to control symptoms. The PNP learns that the
child has recently begun using the SABA 2-3 times each week to prevent
wheezing and shortness of breath. The child currently has clear breath sounds
and an FEV1 of 75% of personal best. What will the NP do?
Add an inhaled corticosteroid.
Your next patient is a six-month-old infant who just completed amoxicillin for
otitis media. The mother states her child is better except for a diaper rash. Upon
examination, you note red scaly plaques in the diaper area with satellite lesions
to his upper thighs. What would you do next as the PNP?
Your child has a rash that is likely due to a fungus, Candida, and commonly occurs after
taking antibiotics. I will prescribe nystatin to be applied to the diaper area.
A 12 y.o. female presents to the clinic after being bit by a dog on the face.
Abrasion with 2 puncture wounds on the upper right cheek, approximately 1 inch
below the eye. The area is slightly erythematous, with a small amount of bruising
and raised area along the cheekbone.
Using normal saline, irrigate the wounds using high pressure (greater than 4 pounds per
square inch) and high volume (greater than 1 L). Isolated puncture wounds should not
be irrigated, instead soak the wound in a diluted solution of tap water and povidone-
iodine for 15 .minutes • Prescribe a 3- to 5-day course of prophylactic antibiotics
, A 4 yo child has clusters of small, clear, tense vesicles with an erythematous
base on one side of the mouth along the vermillion border, which are causing
discomfort and difficulty eating. What will the PNP recommend as treatment?
Topical diphenhydramine and magnesium hydroxide.
A 4 year old child with PE tubes in both ears has otalgia in one ear. The PNP is
able to visualize the tube and does not see exudate in the ear canal and obtains a
type A tympanogram. What will the NP do?
Order ototopical corticosteroid/antibiotic drops.
The parent of a 1-week old is concerned about the unusual shape of their child's
head. In the physical exam, which of the following signs would not support the
diagnosis of craniosynostosis?
A palpable lesion at the occipital region.
A toddler exhibits exotropia of the right eye during a cover-uncover screen. The
PNP will refer to pediatric ophthalmologist to initiate which treatment?
Patching the unaffected eye for 2 hrs./day
