Priorities for the Prenatal Visit The first priority is to attend to the concerns of the parents. In addition, the Bright Futures Infancy Expert Panel has given priority to the following topics for discussion in this visit: XX Social determinants of healtha (risks [living situation and food security, environmental risks, pregnancy adjustment, intimate partner violence, maternal drug and alcohol use, maternal tobacco use], strengths and protective factors [becoming well informed, family constellation and cultural traditions]) XX Parent and family health and well-being (mental health [perinatal or chronic depression], diet and physical activity, prenatal care, complementary and alternative medicine) XX Newborn care (introduction to the practice as a medical home, circumcision, newborn health risks [handwashing, outings]) XX Nutrition and feeding (breastfeeding guidance, prescription or nonprescription medications or drugs, family support of breastfeeding, formula-feeding guidance, financial resources for infant feeding) XX Safety (car safety seats, heatstroke prevention, safe sleep, pets, firearm safety, safe home environment) a Social determinants of health is a new priority in the fourth edition of the Bright Futures Guidelines.

INFANCY History The prenatal history may be obtained according to the concerns of the family and the health care professional’s preference or style of practice. General Questions ■X How has your pregnancy gone so far? What are similarities and differences from what you expected? From previous pregnancies? Have you had any prenatal testing done? ■X What questions do you or other family members have about your baby after you deliver? Are there any concerns about the health of your baby? ■X What have you heard about the purpose of routine child health care? What have you heard about immunizations? ■X What do you think might be the most delightful aspect of being a parent? What do you think might be the most challenging aspect of being a parent? ■X Where do you get information when you have questions about health issues or caring for your baby? How do you prefer to receive information? Family History ■X Obtain a comprehensive family health history. A family history questionnaire can be found in the Bright Futures Tool and Resource Kit.

Initially, these behaviors may seem random, but, gradu­ ally, it will be possible to understand this early nonverbal language. ■X Newborns learn to anticipate and trust their world through their parents’ consistent and predictable caregiving (eg, through feeding and how parents respond to their cries). ■X For the first months of life, newborns learn to live in a world that is very different from the womb. In the womb, the baby is in a dark environment, is in a curled­up position with arms and legs close to the body, and feels swaying movements when you walk. The baby is used to a small space with limited movements. Your baby hears constant swishing sounds of the placenta and your heartbeat. ■X During the first month after birth, babies have a lot to learn—how to feed well and how to coordinate sucking, swallowing, and breathing while breastfeeding or feeding from a bottle. They also must learn how to handle the world around them—the sights, sounds, tactile stimulation (touch)—while learning to control their movements. All these are important steps in a young infant’s development. Review of Systems Not applicable. Observation of the Family Dynamic During the visit, the health care professional acknowledges and reinforces positive parent interactions and discusses any concerns. Observation focuses on ■X Who asks questions and who provides responses to questions? (Observe mother’s relationship with her partner, other children, or support people present during the visit.) ■X Verbal and nonverbal behaviors and communication between family members indicating support and understanding, or differences and conflicts. Physical Examination Not applicable. 308 BFG 4TH ED.indb 308 1/20/17 2:47 PM Bright Futures Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children, and Adolescents Screening Discuss the purpose and importance of the routine newborn screening tests, including newborn blood screening (metabolic, endocrine, hemoglobinopathy), jaundice, congenital heart disease, and hearing, VISIT PRENATAL that will be performed in the hospital before the baby is discharged.

ABSTRACT Clinical pharmacists give valuable administrations to adult patients, however, their advantages for pediatric and neonatal patients are less characterized. Many studies state that medication errors in children are more common than in adults with a greater risk of death.Clinical Pharmacists are accepted as the primary source for providing evidence-based information and advice, to ensure the delivery of correct, safest, and most effective medication to patients. This paper presents a review of the role of clinical pharmacists in the pediatric unit and emphasis the importance of clinical pharmacists for all patients, especially in the pediatric age group.

  • Pediatrics Community About the Residency Recruitment Process May 19, 2021
    APPD/COMSEP/AMSPDC/FuturePedsRes/NextGenPediatricians Letter to Our Pediatrics Community About the Residency Recruitment Process May 19, 2021 The leadership of APPD, COMSEP, AMSPDC, FuturePedsRes, and NextGenPediatricians have been working collaboratively with Undergraduate Medical Education (UME) and Graduate Medical Education (GME) leaders and learners to optimize the recruitment process for applicants and programs. Through this process, we have sought substantial input from applicants, program leaders, chairs, and the greater community including other subspecialties. In addition, we have reviewed and appreciate the recommendations from the Coalition for Physician Accountability. Our primary goal is to optimize the recruitment process for both learners and programs by: (1) Helping learners find programs that match their career goals while providing an atmosphere conducive to their learning styles. (2) Creating a fair and equitable application process for both learners and programs. This past interview season has opened our eyes to ways of improving equity in our processes. In addition, there continues to be uncertainty due to the COVID‐19 pandemic, with some regions still experiencing surges and travel restrictions. Given that many are most focused on the types of interviews we will be doing this coming year, we present that recommendation up front, and then go into the additional recommendations below. Following many conversations and surveys with each of our organizations, we strongly recommend only offering virtual interviews for the 2021‐2022 recruitment cycle for several reasons: (1) Effective assessment: The majority of applicants and programs highlighted that they thought the assessment of applicants was sufficient using virtual interviews in the 2020‐ 2021 cycle. (2) Equity: Virtual interviews are more equitable for applicants and programs, both in terms of cost savings and in terms of any remaining restrictions from the COVID‐19 pandemic.

  • Clinical Update and Treatment of Lactation Insufficiency
    Review Article Maternal Health CLINICAL UPDATE AND TREATMENT OF LACTATION INSUFFICIENCY ARSHIYA SULTANA* KHALEEQ UR RAHMAN** MANJULA S MS*** SUMMARY: Lactation is beneficial to mother’s health as well as provides specific nourishments, growth, and development to the baby. Hence, it is a nature’s precious gift for the infant; however, lactation insufficiency is one of the explanations mentioned most often by women throughout the world for the early discontinuation of breast- feeding and/or for the introduction of supplementary bottles. Globally, lactation insufficiency is a public health concern, as the use of breast milk substitutes increases the risk of morbidity and mortality among infants in developing countries, and these supplements are the most common cause of malnutrition. The incidence has been estimated to range from 23% to 63% during the first 4 months after delivery. The present article provides a literary search in English language of incidence, etiopathogensis, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and current update on treatment of lactation insufficiency from different sources such as reference books, Medline, Pubmed, other Web sites, etc. Non-breast-fed infant are 14 times more likely to die due to diarrhea, 3 times more likely to die of respiratory infection, and twice as likely to die of other infections than an exclusively breast-fed child. Therefore, lactation insufficiency should be tackled in appropriate manner. Key words : Lactation insufficiency, lactation, galactagogue, breast-feeding INTRODUCTION Breast-feeding is advised becasue human milk is The synonyms of lactation insufficiency are as follows: species-specific nourishment for the baby, produces lactational inadequacy (1), breast milk insufficiency (2), optimum growth and development, and provides substantial lactation failure (3,4), mothers milk insufficiency (MMI) (2), protection from illness.

The NFR-CRS is available to states and local sites from the National Center for Fatality Review & Prevention (NCFRP) and requires a data use agreement for data entry. The purpose is to collect comprehensive information from multiple agencies participating in a review. The NFR-CRS documents demographics, the circumstances involved in the death, investigative actions, services provided or needed, key risk factors and actions recommended and/or taken by the team to prevent other deaths. While this data collection form is an important part of the CDR process, it should not be the central focus of the review meeting. Experienced users have found that it works best to assign a person to record data while the team discussions are occurring. Persons should not attempt to answer every single question in a step-by-step manner as part of the team discussion. It is not expected that teams will have answers to all of the questions related to a death. However, over time teams begin to understand the importance of data collection and bring the necessary information to the meeting. The percentage of cases marked "unknown" and unanswered questions decreases as the team becomes more familiar with the form. The NFR-CRS Data Dictionary is available.

Gravitz† * University of Arizona † Barnard College ABSTRACT The authors evaluated the ontogenetic performance of a grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus) on object permanence tasks designed for human infants. Testing began when the bird was 8 weeks old, prior to fledging and weaning. Because adult grey parrots understand complex invisible displacements (I. M. Pepperberg & F. A. Kozak, 1986), the authors continued weekly testing until the current subject completed all of I. C. Uzgiris and J. Hunt's (1975) Scale 1 tasks. Stage 6 object permanence with respect to these tasks emerged at 22 weeks, after the bird had fledged but before it was completely weaned. Although the parrot progressed more rapidly overall than other species that have been tested ontogenetically, the subject similarly exhibited a behavioral plateau part way through the study.
