Female genital mutilation and cutting (FGM/C) is a serious global public health problem, violating the basic human rights of girls and woman. FGM/C is a form of child maltreatment. According to the World Health Organization 200 million girls and women have undergone FGM/C in thirty countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Studies indicate that healthcare professionals, including nurses and advanced practice registered nurses, report a lack of knowledge and comfort related to the identification and clinical management of FGM/C. It is critical that all healthcare professionals, including pediatric nurse practitioners (PNP), possess a thorough understanding of FGM/C and intervene appropriately. This continuing education article will define FGM/C, describe cultural implications, discuss possible short and long-term consequences, and explore implications for practice.

Infants born with congenital heart disease may be dependent on a patent ductus arteriosus to maintain blood flow to either the lungs or body. Some infants may not be recognized to have ductal dependent cardiac disease until the ductus arteriosus is closing and the patient is showing signs of poor perfusion or hypoxia. Detection and management of ductal dependence is critical to stabilize these patients until corrective procedures or surgeries can be offered.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a lifelong disease requiring expensive treatment for management and limited curative options until the last few years. Gene therapy has emerged as a curative option for SCD, with two approved therapies available to SCD patients aged greater than 12 years. Consideration must be considered regarding the ethics, efficacy, management requirements, education, and counseling needs of patients and their parents. Current and future practices will need to advocate for improved access and affordability of this specialized care and address the unknown and less defined areas of gene therapy pertaining to SCD through research.
