Topic: Pediatric Conditions Affecting the Eyes, Mouth, and Gastrointestinal Syst

Topic: Pediatric Conditions Affecting the Eyes, Mouth, and Gastrointestinal System
This week you are covering several areas, including pediatric management of eyes, oral disorders, and gastrointestinal conditions.
You will be discussing pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical findings, diagnostics, differential diagnoses, and management plans of disorders related to the above.
Focusing on the pediatric patient, select one of the topics below and discuss the current evidence-based recommendations by leading pediatric experts and professional organizations. Focus your discussion on guidelines for pediatric healthcare providers prescribing medications to the young pediatric patient.
You are expected to present your initial topic, including, but not limited to, the following items:
Pathophysiology
Physical exam findings
Differential diagnoses and rationale
Management plan to focus on pharmacotherapy agents based upon evidence-based practice guidelines
Topics:
Conjunctivitis (all types) and nystagmus
Amblyopia and strabismus
Retinopathy of prematurity
Dental caries, candidiasis, aphthous ulcers
Retinoblastoma
Gastroesophageal reflux disease in pediatrics
Peptic ulcer disease in pediatrics
Appendicitis and functional abdominal pain syndrome
Intussusception and pyloric stenosis
Malabsorption syndromes: celiac disease, lactose intolerance, cow’s milk protein intolerance, or allergy
Failure to thrive
Acute gastroenteritis and intestinal parasites
Constipation and encopresis
Periorbital cellulitis and orbital cellulitis
Glaucoma and cataracts in pediatrics
Corneal ulcers and hordeolum
Cyclic vomiting syndrome
You will start with retinoblastoma, which is a malignant tumor that arises from the retina in one or both eyes. The cause is often hereditary but can also result from genetic mutation and is the most common malignant tumor in children. The incidence is roughly 1 in 12,000–18,000 live births, with a higher incidence seen in Alaskan Eskimos and Native Americans (Burns et al., 2013). As with any other malignant tumor, retinoblastomas can spread and become metastatic. In underdeveloped countries, delayed diagnosis can lead to death, often from a brain tumor (Burns et al., 2013).
Physical findings are most commonly strabismus, opaque pupil, absent red reflex, and vision loss to some degree. A CT scan with contrast or MRI should be done for any suspicion. Further diagnostics would be performed by an ophthalmologist and may include needle aspiration, fundus photography, or ocular ultrasound.
Differentials include anything with loss of vision acuity, such as glaucoma, injury, cataracts, uveitis, or retinal detachment.
Early diagnosis is always the goal, and regular vision screenings and eye examinations are the standard of care for all children beginning at birth (Chiocca, 2015). Management is an urgent referral to a pediatric ophthalmologist. The NP may see these children in primary care and should monitor closely for possible progression or complications such as intraocular/extraocular tumors. Immediate family members require fundi examinations.
Prognosis depends on the size and involvement of the tumor. There is an increased risk of developing a second malignancy.
Family education is essential. These children need close follow-up (at least every 3 months) by the ophthalmologist for at least 2 years.

Musculoskeletal Function:
G.J. is a 71-year-old overweight woman who presents to the Family Practice Clinic for the first time complaining of a long history of bilateral knee discomfort that becomes worse when it rains and usually feels better when the weather is warm and dry. “My arthritis hasn’t improved a bit this summer though,” she states. Discomfort in the left knee is greater than in the right knee. She has also suffered from low back pain for many years, but recently it has become worse. She is having difficulty using the stairs in her home. The patient had recently visited a rheumatologist who tried a variety of NSAIDs to help her with pain control. The medications gave her mild relief but also caused significant and intolerable stomach discomfort. Her pain was alleviated with oxycodone. However, when she showed increasing tolerance and began insisting on higher doses of the medication, the physician told her that she may need surgery and that he could not prescribe more oxycodone for her. She is now seeking medical care at the Family Practice Clinic. Her knees started to get significantly more painful after she gained 20 pounds during the past nine months. Her joints are most stiff when she has been sitting or lying for some time and they tend to “loosen up” with activity. The patient has always been worried about osteoporosis because several family members have been diagnosed with the disease. However, nonclinical manifestations of osteoporosis have developed.
Case Study Questions
Define osteoarthritis and explain the differences with osteoarthrosis. List and analyze the risk factors that are presented on the case that contribute to the diagnosis of osteoarthritis.

Past medical history: hypertension controlled with Olmesartan 20 mg by mouth once a day. Family history no contributory. Last annual visits with PCP with normal results. She lives by herself but her children live close to her and usually visit her two or three times a week.
Her daughter start noticing that her mother is having problems focusing when talking to her, she is not keeping things at home as she used to, often is repeating and asking the same question several times and yesterday she has issues remembering her way back home from the grocery store.

CASE STUDY: Drug-Facilitated Sexual Assault: Jessica Sexual assault includes any

CASE STUDY: Drug-Facilitated Sexual Assault: Jessica Sexual assault includes any type of sexual activity to which an individual does not agree. Because of the effects of some drugs, commonly called date rape drugs, victims may be physically helpless, unable to refuse, or even unable to remember what happened.

Reflective Questions 1. What are date rape drugs and how can a person be unaware that such a drug has been ingested? 2. What can you do to protect yourself? 3. What do you do if you think you have been sexually assaulted? 4. What can you do when someone you care about has been sexually assaulted? 5. What role does a nurse practitioner play in the care of sexually assaulted patients, particularly in the adolescent age group?
