Pediatric care is believably, a challenging, though exiting field of nursing care. One of the exiting aspects of pediatric care is that it exposes one to a unique learning environment that in the long run helps in honing skills. Unlike the general population of patients, pediatric patients are pretty unique and require one to use advanced and skillful approaches towards meeting the care needs of a patient. This subsequently, helps a nurse in internalizing skills, hence offering a fertile ground for professional and interpersonal growth. Nonetheless, from my practicum experience, one of the concerns I have is that without ...

A family clinic is a health care facility that provides primary outpatient health care services to all the family members irrespective of age, gender and even illness.

Almost every nurse will come across clinical situations that pose ethical dilemma in their practice. In this paper, we look into the ethical dilemma associated with genomic and genetic issues in acute pediatric care settings. Genetic testing and gene based therapies are an integral part of pediatrics. Genetic diseases are commonly identified in the early days of life. Approximately, 53 out of 1000 children, are diagnosed with a disease that is linked to a genetic etiology. As front desk executives, nurses are more likely to participate in activities that involve genomic testing and gene based therapies. The advent of ...

As afore-mentioned, knowledge deficit is a major problem facing the management of pediatric asthma. Asthma management cannot be optimal devoid of a proper understanding of various self-efficacy and asthma monitoring skills. This explains why an asthma education program for this patient population is quite promising in terms of addressing the problem. Imparting this new knowledge (knowledge on asthma management and self-efficacy) can be viewed under the lens of the Diffusion of Innovations Theory by Everett Rogers. This theory is pretty relevant and in line with this EBP project since it essentially seeks to transmit new ideas or new knowledge ( ...

The healthcare provider’s definition of family and family roles influences pediatric assessment as well as the subsequent family (Potter et al., 2013). The term family and family roles alike have diverse meanings when it comes to different cultural contexts and may vary from the ideal family definition or description. For instance, if a healthcare provider has a static or rigid definition of family and subsequently family roles, it becomes pretty hard to switch from one family circumstances to the other when conducting pediatric and family assessment (DeLaune & Ladner, 2010). For example when assessing a child from a children’ ...

Proposed solution

The development of suitable asthma education programs that involve self-efficacy, self-management as well as self-monitoring behaviors and other health promotion strategies for asthma tailored to the pediatric population is the proposed solution or intervention that could be used in addressing the issue of childhood asthma. More importantly, this intervention could help in optimal asthma management as well as foster the involvement of children in daily activities like school, sports as well as play and reduce exacerbation of the disease among pediatric patients. As such, the proposed solution is in agreement with the available evidence on the topic whereby various ...
