Pediatric Health Maintenance Exam and PPE

Pediatric Health Maintenance Exam and PPE

The foundation of pediatric healthcare visits, both sick and well, starts with a thorough health history; from the data collected, an accurate physical examination and diagnosis can be made. Primary care healthcare visits are an integral part of ensuring the health and well-being of the child. In children that participate in sports, a preparticiption  physical examination (PPE) is required and may be the only contact the healthy child has with their healthcare provider. This week’s Discussion will focus on these key topics.

Your professor will assign a topic to present and, in return, you will reply to your classmates in the other topics in order to promote a robust discussion.

Please complete each post in APA format following the Discussion Board grading rubric.

Topic 5: George is a 12-year-old male brought to the clinic by his father and wants to start playing football and needs a preparticipation physical examination (PPE). He is an established patient in your practice and his last health maintenance exam was at 11 years of age. In reviewing his health history, you note that he has sickle cell trait but otherwise healthy. During his exam, you auscultate a Grade I murmur, and the remaining exam is normal. Dad asks if you will clear George to start football practice tomorrow. Would you clear George? Why or why not? Are there any specialists George needs to see before clearance? What are some of the preventive measures fifth you would discuss with George and his father related to playing sports, specifically football?

All sources must be scholarly and within 4 years. I will send grading rubric, this is a discussion post
