Outline

The Pediatrics Course offers a glimpse into diseases that commonly affect children. Caring for a child requires a different approach to care and prioritization. We help walk you through how to assess a child and how to educate parents on prevention of major illnesses.  We break down the diseases into different body systems to help provide clarity and make them easier to understand. This course will help you to confidently care for children of all ages, regardless of what they’re going through. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to…

  1. Discuss growth and development and appropriate milestones for children of different ages.
  2. Discuss the pathophysiology and nursing implications for common disorders in children based on each of the major body systems.
  3. Discuss the pathophysiology and nursing considerations for major communicable diseases that commonly affect children.
