    Acute Care Faculty Series: How to Select an Enteral Formula and Start Feeds (S11 Ep. 76)

    · The Peds NP: Pearls of Pediatric Evidence-Based Practice

    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.

    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.

    Acute Care Faculty Series: Well-Being and Resilience (S11 Ep. 73)

    · The Peds NP: Pearls of Pediatric Evidence-Based Practice

    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 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.

    Acute Care Faculty Series: Case Study on Delivering Bad News (S11 Ep. 72)

    · The Peds NP: Pearls of Pediatric Evidence-Based Practice

    Welcome to The Peds NP Acute Care Faculty series! This collaborative series was created and peer-reviewed by national experts and leaders in acute care PNP education 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 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.

    Acute Care Faculty Series: Developing the Acute Care Differential (S11 Ep. 69)

    · The Peds NP: Pearls of Pediatric Evidence-Based Practice

    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.

    Acute Care Faculty Series: Your first day of acute care clinical (S11 Ep. 68)

    · The Peds NP: Pearls of Pediatric Evidence-Based Practice

    Welcome to The Peds NP Acute Care Faculty series! This collaborative series was created and peer-reviewed by national experts and leaders in acute care PNP education 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 conversational approach so that you can learn nuances of clinical skills before you reach the bedside.

    This episode welcomes the acute care PNP student to clinical, where you’ll learn important bedside lessons that apply your knowledge to practical situations. 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.

    This episode was peer reviewed by The Peds NP faculty series peer review team. You can read about our novel and scholarly approach to peer review, review our faculty lineup, and learn more about the series, competency mapping, references, and show notes at www.thepedsnp.com.

    Discharge Education for Bronchiolitis (S10 Ep. 67)

    · The Peds NP: Pearls of Pediatric Evidence-Based Practice

    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.

    Health Equity in Pediatrics: Epilogue and Results (S9 Ep. 66)

    · The Peds NP: Pearls of Pediatric Evidence-Based Practice

    In the eighth and final episode of the Health Equity in Pediatrics podcast series, the epilogue begins with my inspiration for the series, shares some parting sentiments, and discusses the results and conclusions of the cross-sectional study published in the special DEIB edition of Journal of Pediatric Health Care (March/April 2024). I’ll rewind to my childhood and walk you down the cobblestone brick paths of my hometown, the book that changed my perspective, and the words that helped a podcast create allies. I’ll share the results of the international series and post-survey cross-sectional study. The conclusions will fuel your soul about the series’ impact on listeners and implications for DEI education standardization. Now that you’ve listened, you can be confident that you can make a difference in the equitable care experienced by your patients. After touring the country talking about podcasting and health equity in pediatrics, I’m headed for one last stop in Denver. You’re invited to join me on March 13 at the NAPNAP national conference session 117 for “Scholarly Podcasting 101” where you can learn about quality standards and technology in podcasting, help decide the future of The Peds NP, and envision your own podcast.

    RSV Vaccine for the Prevention of Severe Bronchiolitis in Infants (S10 Ep. 65)

    · The Peds NP: Pearls of Pediatric Evidence-Based Practice

    Nirsevimab is the new FDA-approved monoclonal antibody RSV vaccine for the prevention of severe lower respiratory illness in infants. In this episode, we discuss the current recommendations on who gets the vaccine and when, how to use a lens of health equity to approach the current vaccine shortages, and how to discuss safety and efficacy with vaccine hesitant parents. Now that nirsevimab is on the routine infant immunization schedule, it’s extremely important and pediatric providers understand the recommendations and science behind the monoclonal antibody to help vaccine acceptance that will undoubtedly reduce bronchiolitis hospitalization.

    Health Equity in Pediatrics: Say My Name Correctly (S9 Ep. 61)

    · The Peds NP: Pearls of Pediatric Evidence-Based Practice

    The fourth episode in our Health Equity in Pediatrics series highlights one of the simplest individual actions a provider can take to be an ally in health equity: Say your patients’ names correctly. Saying a person’s name correctly validates their identity, family, culture, and heritage. Whether the name is difficult to pronounce or varies from the name given at birth, providers can use simple tools to correctly pronounce names and address their patients in a way that honors both the patient and their caregivers. Together we can answer William Shakespeare’s question, “What’s in a name?” with a lens of health equity.

    Health Equity in Pediatrics: Interrupting Microaggressions (S9 Ep. 60)

    · The Peds NP: Pearls of Pediatric Evidence-Based Practice

    The third episode in the Health Equity in Pediatrics series focuses on microaggressions, which are subtle slights, snubs, and digs that are seemingly innocent, innocuous, and naĂŻve at first glance. But their roots in harmful stereotypes and assumptions are psychologically disparaging and invalidating to the people from marginalized groups they offend. They reflect implicit bias that is unconsciously embedded into language and behavior. As an ally, interrupting microaggressions can be a challenge that requires curiosity to confront. The decision to interrupt is individual and complex, but this episode will provide allies with the skills to intervene through role play in several scenarios.

    · The Peds NP: Pearls of Pediatric Evidence-Based Practice

    In the second episode of the Health Equity in Pediatrics series, we explore implicit bias as unconscious attitudes and stereotypes held against a group that may even be contrary to one’s stated beliefs. Identifying your implicit bias is a best practice that can enable you to limit its impact on your behavior and prevent harm from altered clinical decision making that is based on preconceived notions. In this episode, we discuss examples of how implicit bias can impact health care in children and the skills that provider’s can hone to combat its influence.

    · The Peds NP: Pearls of Pediatric Evidence-Based Practice

    Welcome to the Health Equity in Pediatrics series! In the first installment of our series, we define health equity and review some communities often affected by health disparities that limit a person’s opportunity to be as healthy as possible. While health equity can seem like a seismic public health crisis that is too big for one person to tackle, each episode in this series will give listeners tangible best practices that can be implemented immediately to provide more equitable care in your workplace. As you learn to view every patient encounter through a lens of health equity, you’ll be able to apply these concepts to the evaluation and management of the diverse children for whom you care and improve their journey toward health. When you become a partner in the health equity care plan, rather than just an authority in health care, you bring practicality to your recommendations and interventions that augment the expert knowledge you share. In this episode we will apply these concepts to a challenging example with a historical precedent that will shape how you understand the approach to overcoming obstacles on the journey to health equity.

    Plant-based Milks (S8 Ep. 57)

    · The Peds NP: Pearls of Pediatric Evidence-Based Practice

    Got milk? The answer is complicated. While plant-based beverages are accused of posing as animal by-product imposters, the FDA claims that consumers know the difference. But most parents don't recognize that plant-based milks lack the same micro and macronutrient profile as cow's milk or soy milk. This leaves pediatric providers with the very important job of assessing nutrition and guiding parents on what beverages their infants and toddlers should be drinking.
