Discharge Education for Bronchiolitis (S10 Ep. 67)

Welcome to The Peds NP Acute Care Faculty series! This series was created and peer-edited by national leaders in acute care PNP education collaborating with one another to meet the needs of our future colleagues. In the push for competency-based education where faculty verify the skills of what a student can do, rather than their knowledge, our series focuses on the application of didactic content with a practical approach so that you can learn nuances of clinical skills before you reach the bedside.    *This is the second episode in a 2 part series on enteral feeding. Listen to Episode 75: Malnutrition and Feeding Tube Selection first.   This episode walks through the decision-making for which enteral formula to select based on the patient's age, protein needs, and GI function. A list of commercially available examples is listed for each age group and protein type. Fluid and caloric goals are discussed to determine if concentrated formulas are appropriate. Lastly, the process of starting continuous feeds and advancing to bolus feeds while assessing for tolerance is reviewed. Build functional skills by following along with a case study that is continued from the prior episode. It's proof that there's more than just formula that goes into tube feedings.   Authors: Becky Carson, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC/AC, Jessica D.

Welcome back to The Peds NP Acute Care Faculty series! This series was created and peer-reviewed by national leaders in acute care PNP education collaborating with one another to meet the needs of our current and future colleagues. In the push for competency-based education where faculty verify the skills of what a student can do, rather than their knowledge, our series focuses on the application of didactic content with a practical approach so that you can learn nuances of clinical skills before you reach the bedside.    This episode begins with a brief review of malnutrition and pediatric nutritional assessment in acute care settings. Next we begin a choose-your-own-nutrition adventure by asking a series of questions that aid in medical decision-making for which nutrition route is appropriate, and, if enteral feeding is best, then determines the type of tube indicated. A case-based discussion with examples helps you to apply the concepts to a complex scenario. Our next episode will focus on formula selection, the initiation of feeds, and assessment of tolerance.   Authors: Becky Carson, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC/AC, Jessica D.

Meditation begins at 2:00.  This 5-minute meditation for pediatric providers is designed to help you center your day before your work to boost your wellness, improve resilience, and connect better with yourself, your patients, and your colleagues. First we’ll create a peaceful environment and establish the ground rules of meditation, then get your body into position. The guided meditation takes you through 5 minutes of breath to help you calm your mind and body while making room for empathy and patience. No judgment, but lots of kindness and compassion for your thoughts and feelings. The session ends by bringing body and mind back into your space and showing gratitude for the practice. Use this meditation every day before you go to work with infants, children, adolescents, and young adults to improve your wellness and their outcomes.    References: The Meditation Initiative.

This series was created and peer-reviewed by national leaders in acute care PNP education collaborating with one another to meet the needs of our current and future colleagues. In the push for competency-based education where faculty verify the skills of what a student can do, rather than their knowledge, our series focuses on the application of didactic content with a practical approach so that you can learn nuances of clinical skills before you reach the bedside.  This episode explores wellness for the pediatric nurse practitioner. We first discuss burnout in terms of its physical and mental impact on the provider as well as poorer patient outcomes and healthcare systems burdens. After we identify symptoms of burnout and compassion fatigue, we’ll discuss what wellness looks like in various systems at work from organizational culture of wellness to ease of daily work and finally personal resilience. We end with a discussion on self-compassion and introduce the evidence in support of meditation as a strategy to promote mind-body wellness. For some, this concept is new, so the technical aspects of meditation are unpacked to facilitate your own path to daily wellness. This episode pairs well with the 5-minute meditation for pediatric providers.    Authors: Becky Carson, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC/AC, Bridget Sullivan Garmisa, MSN, MS, CRNP, RD References: Berwick, D.

In the push for competency-based education where faculty verify the skills of what a student can do, rather than their knowledge, our series focuses on the application of didactic content with a practical approach so that you can learn nuances of clinical skills before you reach the bedside.    This episode applies the concepts from the prior episode on “Delivering Bad News” (S11 Ep. 71) to a few examples where HIV status was disclosed to a pediatric patient. After reflection and discussion of a few ethical principles important to consent/assent, it’s time to practice delivering bad news in a case study. An unfolding case poses questions to get you thinking about what you might say. Make it interactive by pausing your podcast and answer the question yourself. The case walks you step-by-step through the process of delivering bad news to a child and their family using the SPIKES protocol. There's no perfect answer, but this example helps to prepare you for competency-based learning, so that you’re ready to deliver bad news in practice.   Authors (alphabetical): Becky Carson, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC/AC, Ann Felauer, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC/AC, Belinda Large, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC/AC, and Robyn Stamm, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC/AC   References Brouwer, M.

In the push for competency-based education where faculty verify the skills of what a learner can do, rather than their knowledge, our series focuses on the application of didactic content with a practical approach in a conversational way so that you can learn the nuances of clinical skills before you reach the bedside.  This episode discusses a standardized approach to delivering bad news, founded in the literature. The SPIKES protocol is the most well recognized approach to create an environment, assess patient and family knowledge and preferences, deliver the news compassionately, and empathize prior to a summary. With examples of phrasing you can offer at each step, you’ll gain the skills necessary to deliver bad news.  Authors (alphabetical): Becky Carson, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC/AC, Ann Felauer, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC/AC, Belinda Large, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC/AC, and Robyn Stamm, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC/AC   References: Brouwer, M.

Welcome back to The Peds NP Acute Care Faculty series! This series was created and peer-edited by national leaders in acute care PNP education collaborating with one another to meet the needs of our current and future colleagues. In the push for competency-based education where faculty verify the skills of what a student can do, rather than their knowledge, our series focuses on the application of didactic content with a practical approach so that you can learn nuances of clinical skills before you reach the bedside.    This episode guides the novice pediatric provider on creations of an acute care differential diagnosis. It starts with a story about a Southerner in a snowstorm and the unfortunate car problem that resulted from an unexpected guest in the engine. A clear parallel ties the mechanic’s diagnosis with a few amateur onomatopoeias (“clunk, clunk, clunk”) with the skills needed to form illness scripts and develop differentials. A brief case study on an adolescent with acidosis introduces the idea of broad differential formation and the importance of a complete evaluation before diagnoses are eliminated. Medical decision-making is difficult, and a systematic approach to differential diagnosis formation is essential. The episode uses simple examples to help listeners apply the concepts and form a differential in real time. The discussion covers the importance of careful accrual of information, initial differential creation using a systematic approach, how to narrow your differential based on key findings of the assessment, and how to approach an open-ended differential honestly with families while avoiding cognitive bias. With the understanding that, “disease exists on a continuum that evolves and we see the patient at a snapshot in time,” the episode offers a step by step guide on how to build a differential. Classic mantras of The Peds NP are finally explained and tied to the development of your acute care differential. Every novice needs to listen to this episode before ever stepping foot in the clinical setting to be prepared for diagnostic reasoning and the process of narrowing your differential.   This episode was peer reviewed by The Peds NP faculty series peer review team.

Our faculty offered advice on preparation, clinical rotation best practices, and how to finish the rotation successfully. There are key pearls and pitfalls to guide the student toward gaining competency in their newfound skills. We acknowledge those pesky doubts that cause imposter syndrome, and encourage the role of the learner. Through it all, your clinical is what you make of it, and you can be confident that you have the skills to competently enter a new role.

At the peak of respiratory virus season, bronchiolitis is one of the most common presentations in infants and young toddlers. The characteristic wheeze and prolonged duration of illness can be distressing for parents, who may lack the practical knowledge of how to effectively implement supportive care. When the mainstay of treatment is supportive care without any single curative intervention, you need to be able to discuss the etiology, management, and anticipatory guidance on a level that the parents can understand. This episode introduces the idea of capacity-building family-centered care and takes a granular, detailed approach to improving family understanding and home care education so that you can facilitate better evidence-based care in the unrestricted environment of the home. By arming parents with the knowledge and skills needed to care for their infant at home and the clear, objective return criteria, you’re providing family-centered care and reducing unnecessary visits.    Instagram: @thepedsnppodcast Show notes and references thepedsnp.com Disclaimer   References Justice NA, Le JK.
