nr602 Week 4: Pediatric Clinical Pearl Case Study Assignment
Purpose
The purpose of the assignment is to guide students in identifying behaviors and interactions that commonly occur during the health history portion of a well-child exam. In doing so, students can develop strategies to improve anticipatory guidance and health education by using effective, non-biased and nonjudgmental communication.
Activity Learning Outcomes
Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:
Synthesize information in which addresses child health promotion, developmental surveillance, observation of parent-child interaction, anticipatory guidance, social determinants of health and/or cultural competence.
Due Date: Sunday of week 4 by 11:59pm MT
This assignment will follow the late assignment policy specified in the course syllabus.
Late penalty deductions
Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due. Assignments submitted after the due date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of the total points possible for that assignment for each day the assignment is late. Assignments will be accepted, with penalty as described, up to a maximum of three days late, after which point a zero will be recorded for the assignment.
In the event of a situation that prevents timely submission of an assignment, students may petition their instructor for a waiver of the late submission grade reduction. The instructor will review the student's rationale for the request and make a determination based on the merits of the student's appeal. Consideration of the student's total course performance to date will be a contributing factor in the determination. Students should continue to attend class, actively participate, and complete other assignments while the appeal is pending.

Professional/Ethical Communication by Nurse Practitioner to Parent How will you provide non-judgmental and non-bias education regarding issue identified? Needs to be at least 3 sentences. Helpful Hints:
|
"I see that you are trying to give your son fruit within his diet. For his age, fruit is very important for his growth and development. McDonald's has the option to substitute French-fries for apple slices or you can provide your son with milk instead of fruit punch or soda. Those are a few ways that you can help to introduce fruit and limit soda." |
