    Scenario Summary

    Khloe Seng is a 5-year-old who is planning to start kindergarten in the fall. She is an only child and lives in a multigenerational home with her parents and grandmother in a rural community. Khloe’s parents both work full time and she attends a daycare center that integrates a pre-K curriculum Monday through Friday. Khloe and her parents are attending a kindergarten orientation this afternoon at the local public elementary school. It is requested they bring copies of Khloe’s immunization and dental screening records.

    Additional Teaching Strategies

    Classroom

    • Have students review the 2023 CDC vaccination guidelines and outline a plan for a variety of clients birth through 12th grade. Consider factors such as recommendations, contraindications, etc.
    • Create milestone stations for students to identify and present developmental and emotional milestones.
    • Health promotion, maintenance, and early screening for infants, child, young adult, adult, older adult. (Example colorectal screening, mammogram, skin checks, etc.).

    Clinical

    • Create a variety of clinical cards outline children at different ages, have students identify milestones and immunizations they would expect of each child.

    Lab

    • Incorporate Khloe’s developmental strategies into a session on caring for infants and children. Have students approach the clients in an appropriate manner, address clients with a variety of developmental stages, and recommended education.

    Simulation

    • Create a scenario when Khloe enters the nurses’ office with a bloody nose. Address cares, emotional, and physical support for the client. May incorporate a standardized patient acting as a family member coming at the end of the scenario.

    Across the Curriculum

    • Utilize this case study across the curriculum to establish a sense of continuity of care. Introduce Khloe in multiple courses and methods of instruction per ideas listed above.
