Transcript of Lesson8 Pediatric Health History
PEDIATRIC HEALTH HISTORY
CLASS 8
Focal Points of the Pediatric History
The developmental age & level of the child is important, in terms of asking age appropriate questions & in determining the general approach for the interview.
The child is part of a family, therefore a “family” approach to communicating with both parents & children is helpful.
For infants & young children, the primary source of historical information is the parent, a “third person” type of interview.
It is important to involve older children in the history-taking process, and move to a more “first person” type of approach. Even children as young as 3 or 4 years of age can add important information.
Treat initial concerns seriously & listen carefully, but also look for issues beyond the chief complaint that might also be important.
Increased anxiety of parents/children increases the need for careful teaching & reinforcement of treatment plans.
FOCAL POINTS OF PEDIATRIC HISTORY:Biological informationCC: Chief complaint or client’s request for carePI: Present Illness or present health statusPast Medical History:Prenatal, Natal, NeonatalIllnesses, operations, injuriesImmunizationsMedications, transfusionsAllergiesDevelopmental DataNutritional DataFamily Health HistoryFamily Personal/Social HistorySexual HistoryROS: Review of SystemsPP: Patient Profile (Summary or Concluding Statement)

SOURCE OF INFORMATION: INFORMANT: Reliability
CC: Chief Complaint: (Limited to major “chief complain” in client’s words)Confirm with client that CC is the reason for the visit.
PI: OR CURRENT HEALTH STATUS: (Direct questions, focus on specific details, do not necessarily limit questioning to just chief complaint, as there may be other health issues of importance). Then select one of three types of histories:
1. INITIAL WELL CHILD: Complete history
2. INTERVAL WILL CHILD: Factors of significance since last visit
3. ILL CHILD: Details of illness/problem
ILL CHILD: ONSET
When was child last well? Health prior to illness?How or when did disturbance begin?Progress of disease/illness:
chronological order of eventsspecific signs and symptomsduration, characteristics, locationabrupt/gradual, related activityaggravating/alleviating factors: medication, treatment
Pertinent negative datadirect questioningAcute infectionscommunicaboe exposure, recent travel, interval since exposure
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: General state of healthGeneral growth: weight gains/lossesAppetiteFatigueStresses

NATAL HISTORY (BIRTH):Gestational age (pregnancy duration)Birth weight, lengthDuration of laborType of delivery (vaginal cephalic/breech, cesarean, instruments, etc.)Sedation/anesthesiaCondition of infant at birthOnset of respirations - first cryResuscitation
NEONATAL HISTORY (NEWBORN):Ask about newborn APGAR Score, illustrated below: APGAR assessment scores (rated from 1 – 10) are recorded at 1 & 5 minutes after delivery. The 5 minutes scores indicate infant’s risk for neurologic sequelae: Low risk score: 8 – 10 Moderate risk score: 5 – 7 High risk score: 4 or lower

NUTRITION:
A 24 hour recall diet history is recommended for nutritional assessment Compare general intake/output & weight gain/loss Nutritional intake varies with each age group Appetite & eating behaviors change with age Using the food pyramid as a guideline may be helpful
The following guidelines may be helpful in eliciting & evaluating dietary histories in infants & children;
During infancy the focus is related to breast or formula feeding, supplements (iron, fluoride, vitamins),& introduction of solid foods.
Young children tend to be irregular, sporadic eaters, so food variety (food groups) consumed over longer time periods, such as a week rather than a day, may be more indicative of over-all nutritional intake. Offer small portions.
School-aged children tend to be “picky eaters, and do not like mixtures (casseroles) or things to “touch” on the plate
. Adolescents tend to be “fast food” and “snack” eaters, so quality of snacks becomes import to nutrition
intake.
INFANT GUIDELINES:
Higher protein & fat content needed in diet
Breast milk/formula recommended for first year
Whole milk no recommended until after 12 months of age year
Low fat or skim milk not recommended until 2 years of age
Breast Feeding:Neonate q. 2-3 hrsOlder infant 4-6 X/day
Vitamin, iron & flouride supplement variesBreastfed infant not exposed to sunlight may be deficient in vitamin DIron in breast milk is low, but highly bioavailableFluoride is not present in adeqate amounts in breast milk
Formula feeding:Most commerical formulas contain vitamins & ironFormulas come in 3 forms & correct preparation should be reviewed1. Ready-to-feed: expensive, convenient, good for travel2. Liquid concentrate: to be mixed in 1:1 concentration with water3. Powdered concentrate: most preparations are mixed 1 scoop (provided) to 2 oz. H20
(check specific instructions)Formula IntakeVolumes: Age in months # oz # feedings/day
1 4 63 5 56 6 512 4.5 4

Fluoride: Optimum fluoridation of water is 1 part per million (0.7 - 1.2)Supplement dosage in mg/day, according to fluoride in water
Solid foods: Begin 6-12 months, 1-2 spoonfuls to 1/4 cup servingsFinger foods 6-7 months: chopped table foods & cup drinking 8/9 - 12 monthsOrder: Cereals (good iron source), vegetables, fruits, meat/fish/poultry
Delay egg whites until 12 months Breast/formula feedings reduce after solid foods: less than 1 quart/day
