JPHC CE: Monitoring Vaccine Safety: United States Vaccine Safety Surveillance Systems 1.0 NAPNAP contact hour of which contain 1.0 pharmacology content. This continuing education activity is offered free to NAPNAP Members. For nonmembers, this continuing education activity rate is $10. Immunization is an effective public health tool to protect children from hospitalization and death from vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccine safety monitoring is essential to understand risks of vaccination. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention closely monitors vaccine safety through multiple surveillance systems, including V-safe, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), and the Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment (CISA) network. This paper briefly discusses each surveillance system and available evidence that healthcare providers can use to respond to common vaccine concerns. As trusted sources of information about vaccines, pediatric nurses and nurse practitioners need to understand how vaccine safety is monitored, where to access reliable resources about vaccines, and when and where to report adverse events noted after vaccination.

JPHC CE: Sexting and Sextortion in Adolescents: Essentials for the PNP 1.0 NAPNAP contact hour. This continuing education activity is offered free to NAPNAP Members. For nonmembers, this continuing education activity rate is $10. Sexting and sextortion are increasingly common concerns among adolescents, presenting significant challenges for pediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs). Sexting, or digital sharing of self-produced nude or otherwise sexual images, is increasingly seen as a normative part of adolescent sexual exploration, but carries substantial risks, particularly when images are shared non-consensually, by minors, or used as a method of bullying or extortion (“sextortion”). PNPs play a critical role in early identification of any nonconsensual texting and by providing education to adolescents so they may explore their sexuality safely, resist peer pressure, and maintain boundaries.

JPHC CE: Recognition and Management of Pediatric Dental Trauma and Infections 1.0 NAPNAP contact hour. This continuing education activity is offered free to NAPNAP Members. For nonmembers, this continuing education activity rate is $10. Dental emergencies are common during childhood and typically occur due to trauma or infection. The current evidence on managing dental injuries is from a dental perspective, with limited information on treating pediatric dental injuries in medical settings. Proper treatment of infection, correct storage, prompt repositioning, and replantation are essential for successful outcomes, as supported by the latest evidence-based guidelines. Pediatric patients have a better prognosis when proper treatment is provided without delay. Understanding potential issues enables providers to assess the severity of the condition, offer initial guidance and management, and recommend appropriate follow-up dental care. This continuing education activity aims to educate providers on how to care for children with low-acuity dental injuries and infections using an evidence-based approach. J pediatr Health Care.

JPHC CE: Beyond “Picky Eating”: Identification, Screening, and Referral for Pediatric Feeding Disorders in Primary Care 1.0 NAPNAP contact hour. This continuing education activity is offered free to NAPNAP Members. For nonmembers, this continuing education activity rate is $10. Pediatric feeding disorders (PFDs) affect 1 in 37 children under age 5 in the United States, representing a common yet frequently underrecognized condition in primary care. In 2019, a multidisciplinary expert panel established the first consensus definition of PFD, creating a standardized four-domain framework (medical, nutritional, feeding skill, and psychosocial) that has transformed clinical assessment and management. A recent 2025 consensus further clarified the relationship between PFD and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), providing guidance on diagnostic overlap and differentiation. This continuing education article provides pediatric healthcare providers with current, evidence-based knowledge to screen, identify, and make appropriate referrals for children with PFDs. The article reviews the consensus definitions, epidemiology, validated screening tools, differential diagnosis, risk factors, assessment strategies, and referral guidelines. J pediatr Health Care.

JPHC CE: Trauma Exposure in Migrant Children: Implications for Mental and Physical Health 1.5 NAPNAP contact hour. This continuing education activity is offered free to NAPNAP Members. For nonmembers, this continuing education activity rate is $10. Global migration is a public health crisis of epidemic proportions. Migrants are at risk for a variety of physical and mental health concerns, while having limited access to healthcare. Migrant children are especially vulnerable to experiencing significant trauma, both physical and emotional. Children comprise less than one third of the global population, yet nearly half of migrants are children less than 18 years of age. The United States is home to a significant number of migrant children. Migrant children have a unique set of educational, health, and emotional needs. Given the sheer number of migrant children living in the U.S., pediatric nurse practitioners (PNP) must understand their unique needs and provide evidence-based interventions to help meet these needs. This continuing education article will discuss migrant children in terms of understanding migration, trauma exposure and resultant impact on psychological and physical health, and implications for practice.

JPHC CE: Use of Atypical Antipsychotics in Pediatric Populations 1.75 NAPNAP contact hour of which 1.75 contain pharmacology content (Rx). This continuing education activity is offered free to NAPNAP Members. For nonmembers, this continuing education activity rate is $10. Atypical antipsychotic medications have served as mainstays in the treatment of pediatric-onset bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and are typically prescribed by psychiatric providers. These medications also have an important role in treating specific behaviors associated with other pediatric diagnoses, including autism spec-trum disorder, disruptive behavior disorders, and tic disorders. Nurse practitioners play an important role in initiating treatment in children who require these drugs and monitoring those who are already prescribed these medications by psychiatric professionals. The pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacogenomic implications for aripiprazole, olanzapine, quetiapine, and risperidone are described. This article reviews appropriate approaches to prescribing, monitoring for efficacy and side effects, and considerations when tapering or discontinuing antipsychotic medications.

Overuse of Psychotropic Medications in Children and Youth in Foster Care 0.5 NAPNAP Contact Hour. This continuing education activity is offered at a reduced rate to NAPNAP Members. This continuing education activity rate is $5 for NAPNAP Members. For non- members, this continuing education activity rate is $10. This continuing education activity was reviewed and updated in 2025 to ensure compliance with current clinical standards, updated instructional content and best practices in health care education. Children in foster care are a vulnerable population with unmet health care needs complicated by a history of trauma, making providing comprehensive care difficult for Advanced Practice Providers (APPs). Care for this population is often transient and crisis centered, and an estimated 80% of children in foster care having one or more psychiatric diagnoses. Despite this rate of psychiatric diagnoses, children in foster care are prescribed psychotropic medications at a disproportionately high rate that is more than twice that of Medicaid controls. Stimulants are the most prescribed medication class followed by atypical anti-psychotic medications. A better understanding of the common mental health diagnoses of children in foster care, common medication indications and their monitoring, and available evidence-based treatments are imperative for APPs to care for this population. APPs need to be strong advocates for this vulnerable population to reduce the risk of psychotropic medication overuse and improve overall health outcomes. |

JPHC CE: The Landscape of Substance Use in Youth-2024 1.0 NAPNAP contact hour. This continuing education activity is offered free to NAPNAP Members. For nonmembers, this continuing education activity rate is $10. An essential role of pediatric providers is to counsel youth and parents on behavioral health issues, including the use of Alcohol or other drugs (AODs). Although substance use by adolescents has decreased, a significant number of adolescents use AODs, causing those with regular use to be at risk of developing behavioral, physical, and mental health consequences that can continue into adulthood. This article was written to help pediatric providers understand the scope and associated effects of AOD use in their adolescent patients and equip them to counsel, identify, and intervene to reduce the harm to their patients who use AODs.

JPHC CE: Improving the Healthcare Experience Through Improved Communication for Individuals with Autism Across the Spectrum: A Tutorial 0.75 NAPNAP contact hour. This continuing education activity is offered free to NAPNAP Members. For nonmembers, this continuing education activity rate is $10. Individuals with autism experience many barriers to receiving high quality healthcare. With 1 in 31 children now being diagnosed with autism, a number that has only been increasing over the last decade, it is imperative to address these barriers. One of the most prevalent barriers is communication. Social communication challenges are a defining characteristic of autism, but there exists a wide spectrum of communication abilities that can be difficult for healthcare providers to understand. This tutorial introduces the differences in informational processing experienced by those with autism with practical guidance on how healthcare providers can individualize their approach to communication when providing patient-centered care. The three levels of autism support are used as a framework, with suggestions specific to each level to help healthcare providers better understand the differences seen in autism and how they can more readily address the needs of each patient.
