Infant, childhood, and adolescent development are a continual interplay between nature (genetic or biologic predisposition) and nurture (environmental experiences). The nature/nurture continuum and debate will always be a part of your career as a PMHNP.  Knowing common developmental milestone is important in the role as a child provider. Not only is it essential to the diagnostic process, but it is also important to the interdisciplinary interactions with other mental health professionals. The study of normal developmental processes, however, is only one tool that allows the mental health professional to understand the child being evaluated. There are many different assessment instruments and interviewing techniques that PMHNPs can have in their toolkit when working with children and adolescents.

In this Discussion, you examine the differences in assessing and treating children and adolescents versus adults. You take into consideration your own clinical experiences, as well as your experiences in your clinical rotation, and the information from the readings thus far.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Analyze the importance of developmental assessments
• Analyze assessment instruments used for evaluating children and adolescents
• Analyze treatment options used for children and adolescents
• Analyze roles parents play in assessment and treatment

To Prepare for the Discussion

• Review the Learning Resources concerning psychiatric assessments and assessment tools.

Mr. JD is a 24-year-old who presents to Urgent Care with a 2-week history of cough and congestion. He says it started out as a “normal cold” and it will not go away. He has a productive cough for green mucous and has green nasal discharge. He says he has had a low-grade temperature for the past 2 days. John reports an intermittent frontal headache with this cold. He is otherwise healthy, with no known allergies.
In his assessment it is found that his vital signs are stable, temperature is 99.9 degrees F, tympanic membranes (TMs) are clear bilaterally, pharynx is erythematous with no exudate; there is greenish postnasal drainage; turbinates are swollen and red; frontal sinus tenderness; no cervical adenopathy, and lungs are clear bilaterally.

2. Would you treat Mr. JDs cold? Why or why not?
3. What would you prescribe and for how many days? Include the class of the medication, mechanism of action, route, the half-life; how it is metabolized in and eliminated from the body; and contraindications and black box warnings.
4. Would this treatment vary if Mr. JD was a 10 year-old 78 lb child? Include the class of the medication, mechanism of action, dosing, route, the half-life; how it is metabolized in and eliminated from the body; and contraindications and black box warnings
5. What health maintenance or preventive education is important for this client based on your choice medication/treatment?

The healthcare organization I chose to review is the Mayo Clinic. Their mission is inspiring hope and promoting health through integrated clinical practice, education, and research. The Mayo Clinic’s vision is transforming medicine to connect and cure as the global authority in the care of serious or complex diseases (Mayo Clinic, 2020). The Mayo Clinic’s evidence-based practice research program is dedicated to improving the quality, effectiveness, and appropriateness of health care by synthesizing research evidence and facilitating the translation of findings into clinical practice. Also, the Mayo Clinic is one of only 12 institutions in the United States currently designated and funded as an evidence-based practice center by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The Evidenced-Based Practice Research Program at Mayo Clinic researches to evaluate and summarize all available evidence on a particular health care issue (Mayo Clinic, 2020). I believe the Mayo Clinic’s work is grounded in evidence-based practice because they have a research program solely dedicated to evidence-based practice. The information I discovered on the Mayo Clinic’s website has positively affected my perception of their organization because of its mission and vision statements as well as their research program dedicated to evidence-based practice. People with difficult and enigmatic medical conditions travel across the country and world to obtain medical care at the Mayo Clinic.
