-HISTORY- PEDIATRIC HISTORY & PHYSICAL EXAM (CHILDREN ARE NOT JUST LITTLE ADULTS) Learning Objectives: 1. To understand the content differences in obtaining a medical history on a pediatric patient compared to an adult. a. To understand how the age of the child has an impact on obtaining an appropriate medical history. 2. To understand all the ramifications of the parent as historian in obtaining a medical history in a pediatric patient. 3. To understand the appropriate wording of open-ended and directed questions, and appropriate use of each type of question. 4. To develop an awareness of which clinical settings it is appropriate to obtain a complete medical history compared to a more limited, focused history. Competencies: 1.

Content Differences A. Prenatal and birth history B. Developmental history C. Social history of family - environmental risks D. Immunization history II. Parent as Historian A. Parent s interpretation of signs, symptoms 1. Children above the age of 4 may be able to provide some of their own history 2. Reliability of parents observations varies 3. Adjust wording of questions - When did you first notice Johnny was limping? instead of When did Johnny s hip pain start? B. Observation of parent-child interactions 1. Distractions to parents may interfere with history taking 2. Quality of relationship C. Parental behaviors/emotions are important 1. Parental guilt - nonjudgmental/reassurance 2.

Composition of family C. Occupation of parents -PHYSICAL EXAMINATION- Objectives 1. To understand how the general approach to the physical examination of the child will be different compared to that of an adult patient, and will vary according to the age of the patient. 2. To observe and demonstrate physical findings unique to the pediatric population, and to understand how these findings may change depending upon the age of the child. Competencies 1. To obtain accurate vital signs (Temperature, HR, RR, BP) in a pediatric patient in different age groups and to be able to evaluate these vital signs compared to age-adjusted normals. To understand the normal variation in temperature depending on the route of measurement.

2. To complete a thorough physical examination on a pediatric patients in different age groups. Two of these should be supervised by the attending staff in Clinic 6. Differences in Performing A Pediatric Physical Examination Compared to an Adult: I. General Approach A. Gather as much data as possible by observation first B. Position of child: parent s lap vs. exam table C. Stay at the child s level as much as possible. Do not tower!! C. Order of exam: least distressing to most distressing D. Rapport with child 1. Include child - explain to the child s level 2. Distraction is a valuable tool E. Examine painful area last-get general impression of overall attitude F. Be honest. If something is going to hurt, tell them that in a calm fashion. Don t lie or you lose credibility! G. Understand developmental stages impact on child s response. For example, stranger anxiety is a normal stage of development, which tends to make examining a previously cooperative child more difficult. II. Vital signs A. Normals differ from adults, and vary according to age 1. See code card for charts of age-adjusted normals B. Temperature 1. Tympanic vs. oral vs. axillary vs. rectal C. Heart rate 1. Auscultate or palpate apical pulse or palpate femoral pulse in infant 2. Palpate antecubital or radial pulse in older child D. Respiratory rate -Observe for a minute. Infants normally have periodic breathing so that observing for only 15 seconds will result in a skewed number. E. Blood pressure 1. Appropriate size cuff - 2/3 width of upper arm 2. Site F. Growth parameters - must plot on appropriate growth curve 1. Weight 2. Height/length 3. OFC: Across frontal-occipital prominence so greatest diameter (Occipital Frontal Circumference) III.
