Pediatric Clinical Pearl Case Study
The purpose of this paper is to identify behaviors and interactions that occur during a well-child exam. It’s important to observe both positive and negative interaction to be able to educate the parent using guidelines. The five topics that will be discussed are sleep routines, car seat safety, safety, temper tantrums and discipline, and healthy teeth. Clinical Pearl Issue #1: Sleep Routines
Category Sleep routines Negative interaction/behavior
Mother states during interview, “Sometimes he sleeps for 10 hours, and I have to get him up. I have
to push and push and get him up and it’s rough. Sometimes I can’t get him to sleep so if he could get some Xanax or some Benadryl or something to put him to sleep that would be great. Mother then states, “he watches TV every night, that’s how he goes to sleep.” Positive interaction/behavior The child able to sleep most of the evenings. The child also has bedtime routine as well.
Guidelines/recommendation It is recommended that all screens be turned off for 30 minutes before the child goes to bed and that any other electronics such as televisions , and screens are not allowed to be in the child’s bedroom.

Professional/Ethical Communication “Instead of having your child watch television before going to bed perhaps you can read a bedtime
story to him. Doing this can increase the bonding between you and your child. This also aids in the child learning. Children at the age of 15 months should be limited to the amount of screen time during evening hours”.
