Nice summary. I am an experienced NP, but this is a nice refresher on pediatric conditions. I have been predominantly adult and geriatric, so thank you!
Pneumonia: For children with MILD RXNS TO PCN : Amoxicillin 90 mg/kg per day in 2 or 3 divided doses (MAX 4 g/day), or Amoxicillin-clavulanate 90 mg/kg per day of the amoxicillin component in 2 or 3 divided doses (MAX 4 g/day amoxicillin component), or A third-generation cephalosporin, such as cefdinir 14 mg/kg per day in 2 divided doses (MAX 600 mg/day) For children with IgE-mediated or SERIOUS delayed reaction to a penicillin: Levofloxacin◊ 16 to 20 mg/kg per day in 2 divided doses (MAX 750 mg/day), or Clindamycin 30 to 40 mg/kg per day in 3 or 4 divided doses (MAX 1.8 g/day), or Linezolid 30 mg/kg per day in 3 divided doses (MAX 1.8 g/day) Impt to note that children with pneumonia should be followed up in 24-48 hours
Hydroceles, while most resolve by 1-2 yrs--Surgical repair is indicated for communicating hydroceles that persist beyond one to two years of age and for idiopathic, noncommunicating hydroceles that are symptomatic or compromise the skin integrity. Varicocele: While there are no clear guidelines established for treatment of a varicocele in childhood . Referral to an urologist is indicated for patients with pain, decreased testicle size, or large varicocele. ALSO ORDER US AND REFER TO UROLOGY IF VARICOCELE IS PRESENT when lying supine, has acute onset, or is right-sided (secondary varicocele), then processes that cause inferior vena caval (IVC) obstruction must be ruled out with Doppler ultrasonography
ICS is considered 1st line according to GINA Guidelines. These new guidelines will be a part of the board exams UpToDate: For children ≥4 years of age with moderate-to-severe persistent asthma on step 3 or step 4 therapy, we suggest an inhaled glucocorticoid combined with a fast-onset long-acting beta agonist (LABA; eg, formoterol) for both daily and quick-relief therapy (single maintenance and reliever therapy [SMART]) rather than a SABA for quick-relief therapy. The goal of SMART is to both treat acute symptoms and prevent exacerbations. It is reasonable to continue a SABA for quick-relief therapy in patients whose asthma is adequately controlled on a daily combination inhaled glucocorticoid-LABA.
No, unless there is an identified bacterial infection present. Otherwise, you can use fever and pain reducers like motrin, if flu is the cause you can use tamiflu. Breathing treatments can be used if there's shortness of breath present. If symptoms aren't able to be managed outpatient the patient needs to go to the ER.

Thanks!
I love all your videos! Very helpful. I hope you’ll make pediatric development soon 😇🙏🏻

For children with IgE-mediated or SERIOUS delayed reaction to a penicillin:

Great job
Thank you for sharing
What happened to the dump sheets that were on the FB page? Those are so helpful to me. Are they available in a book format or download?
Thank you! Is there a way to print your dump sheets?

Like your video, short and simple. Straight to the point. Could you tell me where to get practice question? Any suggestions?
Thank you
Thank you I would like to print the PowerPoint. Thank you
Would you treat Viral Pneumonia with Amoxicillin though?
No, unless there is an identified bacterial infection present. Otherwise, you can use fever and pain reducers like motrin, if flu is the cause you can use tamiflu. Breathing treatments can be used if there's shortness of breath present. If symptoms aren't able to be managed outpatient the patient needs to go to the ER.
Hi love your channel. Could you do a review dedicated to the pregnant patient FNP aanp prep? thanks
Hey so glad you find my videos helpful! & yes I was debating about what to do next. I'll definitely make it women's health & include pregnancy! :)
