Ms. Taft has brought her three-year-old son Michael to clinic today for a well child exam and there are no stated concerns at first asking. History reveals that Michael’s parents have recently divorced. Michael and his mom have relocated to your community for her job, and they live alone in a small, two-bedroom house built in 2003. Dad is about 50 miles away, but he intends to stay involved. Additional information indicates that Michael is a very picky eater and prefers beverages (milk, juice, and water), he’s currently sleeping with mom (which mom is not happy about), and he’s showing absolutely no interest in toilet training (which Mom is also not happy about). Past medical history and family medical history are noncontributory. Review of systems and physical exam suggest no medical concerns. Developmental screening is within normal limits using the Ages & Stages Questionnaire. Immunizations are up-to-date. Obviously, there is much additional information that would be helpful, but write an assessment that reflects your basic thoughts identifying all issues that ideally need to be addressed. Include routine health supervision as well as any additional issues you wish to address. Then, create a succinct, but detailed, plan to accompany your assessment, be sure to include rationale. Assessment: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Plan: Rationale: Considering all you’ve learned about well childcare and psychosocial issues, prepare a rationale so that you reflect knowledge of why you have decided on your plan of action. Number your rationale to correspond to your plan.
