Please address the following with bold headings:
An explanation of the differential diagnosis for the patient in the case study you selected.
Explain which is the most likely diagnosis for the patient and why. Include an explanation of unique characteristics of the disorder you identified as the primary diagnosis.
Then explain a treatment and management plan for the patient including appropriate dosages for any recommended treatments.
Finally explain strategies for educating patients and families on the treatment and management of the respiratory cardiovascular and/or genetic disorder.
Assessing diagnosing and treating pediatric patients for many cardiovascular and genetic disorders can be challenging. As an advanced practice nurse who facilitates care for patients presenting with these types of disorders you must be familiar with current evidence-based clinical guidelines. Because of the clinical implications you have to know when to treat patients with these disorders and when to refer them for specialized care. In this Discussion you examine the following case studies and consider appropriate treatment and management plans.
Case Study 6:
You see a 2-month-old for a well-child visit. She is breastfed and nurses every 2 to 3 hours during the day but her mother reports she is not nursing as vigorously as before. She sleeps one 4-hour block at night. Birth weight was 7 pounds 5 ounces. Weight gain over the last 2 weeks reveals gain of 5 ounces per week. Physical examination reveals the following: HEENT exam is benign lung sounds are clear a new III/VI systolic ejection murmur is noted along the left lower sternal border cap refill is brisk skin is pink and moist and abdominal exam is benign.
