To: Ms. Harris Working with your daughter, Sarah Lee, has been a wonderful experience. On November 1st, 2010, you signed a parental permission form that allowed me to begin our sessions together. I administered two different tests to Sarah Lee in order to understand why she has been feeling speechless and tongue-tied. The tests were the MAVA and the Told I;4.…
In “The Use of Force” of William Carlos Williams, narrator forces Mathilda to open her mouth by physical power, but I agree with his actions for many reasons. Firstly, there’s no other way to make Mathilda open the mouth. According to the story, the doctor has tried his best with the appropriated ways to make the girl open her mouth, but she hasn’t opened her mouth. Thus, I think it’s suitable for the doctor for using his physical strength to make the child open the mouth. Another reason is that the girl deserves the way to open her mouth because she is disobedient to her parents and the doctor.…
Both chapters take place after Lia's serious seizure. Chapter fifteen explains how the Lees take care of Lia now and how she is in a vegetative state. We also see that the Lees are now seen as suitable and caring parents that want the best for their daughter rather than neglecting parents. This chapter showed the mistake made by the doctor and his failure to admit to it. Before, Lia's parents were not seen fit to take care of her but after the doctor's mistake they are suddenly viewed as good and caring parents.…

I would like to present a case of iron deficiency anemia. Although that often considered as a primary care health related issue, but I consider it as a challenging and interesting case. This case was unique to me because it really showed me the significant impact of the social determinant and access of care. I was involved on a case that could be easily addressed and managed if the patient social economic status was different. I had have the opportunity to experience the differences in health outcome that influenced by economic status, language barrier, health and education literacy.…
From these recommendation she needs to be screened for…
For this child screening assignment, I worked with a forty-one month and three-day old girl named E.P. I used the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) to conduct the assessment. E.P. was born on January 06, 2013 at full term without any complications and birth related problems. E.P. is the first child of her parents and they are expecting a new baby brother in October. She lives in an apartment with her father (J.P.), mother (T.P), and her paternal grandmother.…
The Dr.’s orientation toward the interpreter give the impression that he is communicating directly with him, ignoring the mother and child who is turned away from the doctor. He would be well served to employ the pediatric assessment triangle when assessing the child which takes into account the child appearance/airway, work of breathing/body positioning, and circulation/skin appearance to help make his assessments. This method takes into account the nonverbal or kinesics of the child’s communication in order to asses and treat the…
Holland and Stewart (2005) states that screening in children is important so as to follow up on problems identified during infancy as well as to diagnose any, disorders for which effective treatment is available. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (2004) most children that are identified and recommended for routine screening are screened for a number of common physical conditions, however hearing and vision screening are the two most usually monitored. In fact, due to the subtleness of these two conditions it is difficult for parents and teacher to detect that they exist. Holland and Stewart explained that hearing screening in childhood is used to detect hearing impairment that can result from sensorineural or conductive hearing…

Before parents take a child to the doctor one question they might wonder about is: How…
Caring for the 3-year-old boy was much different then caring for the young women. My preceptor spoke to him in simple terms, explaining all the equipment to him. Looking at Halloween decorations distracted the boy, allowing the nurse to obtain the blood sample quickly. Caring for one of the young females was very difficult; she did not want any of the procedures to be done. Even though she was in her mid 20s with a 1-year-old, she was a very difficult patient.…
Urinary tract infections in children Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children are fairly common, but not usually serious. They can be effectively treated with antibiotics. A UTI may be classed as either: • an upper UTI – if it's a kidney infection or an infection of the ureters, the tubes connecting the kidneys to the bladder • a lower UTI – if it's a bladder infection (cystitis) or an infection of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body When to seek medical advice If you think your child is unwell and could have a UTI, contact your GP as soon as possible.…
