Discuss your thoughts about what you have learned about ACE’s. Did you know anything about them before this week’s assignments? If so, did you learn anything new? How will what you learned affect how your provide care for your pediatric patients?CO#8: Utilize the psychosocial implications of health and illness on the client and family.CO #9: Incorporate the advanced nurse practice role, including integration of family issues and cross-cultural sensitivity in treating clients in a professional and ethical manner. CO #10: Design a plan of care in accordance with the holistic comprehensive assessment, current research, and established protocols for common infant, child, and adolescent conditions. What is ACEs
ACES are adverse childhood experiences, potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood from (0-17 years old) (CDC, 2021). About 64% of U.S. adults reported they had experienced at least one kind of ACE in their childhood (CDC, 2021). This includes experiencing abuse, neglect, violence, parental separation, or incarceration of a family member. Some examples of this include witnessing a family member attempt or die by suicide, or aspects of a child’s environment that can undermine their sense of safety, stability, and bonding (CDC, 2021).

This assessment will introduce the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Model to create change in an organization. By interviewing a colleague of your choice, you will begin gathering information about an interprofessional collaboration problem that your colleague is experiencing or has experienced. You will identify a change theory and leadership strategies to help solve this problem.
This assessment is the first of three related assessments in which you will gather interview information (Assessment 2); design a proposal for interdisciplinary problem-solving, (Assessment 3); and report on how an interdisciplinary improvement plan could be implemented in a place of practice (Assessment 4). At the end of the course, your interviewee will have a proposal plan based on the PDSA cycle that he or she could present to stakeholders to address an interdisciplinary problem in the workplace.
For this assessment, you will need to interview a health care professional such as a fellow learner, nursing colleague, administrator, business partner, or another appropriate person who could provide you with sufficient information regarding an organizational problem that he or she is experiencing or has experienced, or an area where they are seeking improvements. Consult the Interview Guide [DOCX] download the Interview Guide for an outline of how to prepare and the types of information you will need to complete this project successfully.
For this assessment, you will report on the information that you collected in your interview, analyzing the interview data and identifying a past or current issue that would benefit from an interdisciplinary approach. This could be an issue that has not been addressed by an interdisciplinary approach or one that could benefit from improvements related to the interdisciplinary approach currently being used. You will discuss the interview strategy that you used to collect information. Your interview strategy should be supported by citations from the literature. Additionally, you will start laying the foundation for your Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal (Assessment 3) by researching potential change theories, leadership strategies, and collaboration approaches that could be relevant to issue you have identified. Please be certain to review the scoring guide to confirm specific required elements of this assessment. Note that there are differences between basic, proficient and distinguished scores.
When submitting your plan, use the Interview and Issue Identification Template [DOCX],  Download Interview and Issue Identification Template [DOCX],which will help you to stay organized and concise.

Topic: Unconnected Disorders
This week we are covering many disorders that are not necessarily connected. Two symptoms that are very common in children are fever and pain. Depending on the child’s age, communication can be challenging, and you often must rely on the parent or caregiver for CC, HPI, ROS.
Consider the following:
When fever is the CC, you need to collect the following information:What is the temp, and how was temp obtained (oral or axillary)?
What preceded the fever? When does the fever occur (afternoon, evening)?
What has helped the fever? Tylenol? How much, how often?
Any associated symptoms?
Any recent sick contacts?
Health history? Immunizations?
In addition to all routine exams on the PE, you want to make a note of sensorium. Is there nuchal rigidity? Appearance of distress?
For pain: When, where, scale of 0–10 with 10 being worst? What makes it better or worse? Radiation? Localized or general? Tenderness to palpation? Preceding events/injuries? Associated symptoms? You would need all past medical history (e.g., if the child has had an appendectomy, you can rule out appendicitis).
The exam should be focused on the anatomical area and any connected systems (i.e., sore throat pain you would want to examine ears, sinuses, lungs, etc.).
What types and location of pain would make you particularly concerned?
Focusing on the pediatric patient, select one of the topics below and discuss the current evidence-based recommendations by leading pediatric experts and professional organizations.
Focus your discussion on guidelines for pediatric healthcare providers prescribing medications to young pediatric patients.
You are expected to present your initial topic, including, but not limited to, the following items:
Pathophysiology
Physical exam findings
Differential diagnoses and rationale
Management plan to focus on pharmacotherapy agents based upon evidence-based practice guidelines
Topics:
Precocious puberty
Pediatric obesity
Hypothyroidism
Hyperthyroidism
Growth hormone deficiency
Constitutional growth delay
Adrenal Insufficiency
Type 1 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes
Inborn errors of metabolism
Phenylketonuria
Dyslipidemia
Fever in children
Pain in children
Stages of dehydration
Management plans for dehydration

Based on your reading and personal experience, share your perception of 3 attributes of a leader and 3 attributes of a manager. Based on your experience, have your direct supervisors been leaders, manager or both? Provide examples to support your assessment.
