JPHC CE: Secondhand Smoke Exposure in Pediatric Patients: What Is the Nurse Practitioner’s Role?
0.75 NAPNAP contact hour. This continuing education activity is offered free to NAPNAP Members. For nonmembers, this continuing education activity rate is $10. The detrimental impact of smoking is extensively known and documented. However, what about those who cannot make that choice for themselves? Unlike most adults, children have little to no control over their environment, relying heavily on the choices and actions of their parent(s). While this is true with various factors, it is especially true with secondhand smoke exposure (SHSe). No amount of smoke is a safe level to be around, especially in infancy and childhood. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) defines secondhand smoke (SHS) as “smoke emitted from a tobacco product or exhaled from a person who smokes that is inhaled by a person who does not smoke,” enveloping involuntary participants like infants and children (Jenssenetal.,2023). This continuing education paper strives to give insight into the dangers of SHSe for children, a guide for providers, and resources for parent(s) struggling with tobacco dependency.

1.0 NAPNAP contact hour. This continuing education activity is offered free to NAPNAP Members. For nonmembers, this continuing education activity rate is $10. 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. J Pediatr Health Care.

This continuing education activity is offered free to NAPNAP Members. For nonmembers, this continuing education activity rate is $10. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common mental health disorder among children and adolescents, with a prevalence rate of 9.8% in children 3 to 17 years of age (Bitsko et al., 2022). The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has published guidelines for treatment of ADHD in children and adolescents ages 4 to 17 years that address diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of ADHD (Wolraich et al., 2019). The AAP guidelines do not address treatment of children with co-morbidities but identify the treatment of ADHD in children with comorbidities as an area for future research. To address this gap, a review of ADHD treatment in children with comorbidities including anxiety, depression, substance use disorder (SUD), epilepsy, tic disorders (TD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), learning disabilities (LD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and sleep disorders was conducted.
