Discussion Board Post

A 5-year-old child and her mother present to your clinic. The mother reports that the child has had a cough and sounds “wheezy” for the last 2 days. She states that the child always gets like this when she is sick. She also reports that the child has been complaining that her right ear hurts. In addition, you notice dry scaly patches on the child’s elbows and behind her knees.
What are your three differentials and primary diagnosis? What would you prescribe for each condition? Remember to include your rationales.

Your patient is an eight-year-old male child who is extremely active and not doing well in school. After several visits and using the Conner’s CBRS, you diagnosed him with ADHD. His parents are divorced, and the father attends with the mother and is against medication but would like to talk about cognitive-behavioral approaches prior to starting medication. What is your approach with this child and his parents? What options would you present and why? If they agreed on a medication but later wanted to try the cognitive-behavioral approach to wean the child off the medication, what types of linear plan would you form, who would you involve in this plan, and how long would you expect this plan to be in place in order to show long-term improvements?
