Taking a SMART approach to case studies in pediatric asthma management
1.25 NAPNAP Contact Hour of which 0.75 pharmacology content. This continuing education activity is offered at a reduced rate to NAPNAP Members. This continuing education activity rate is $12.50 for NAPNAP Members. For non-members, this continuing education activity rate is $25. This course is a recorded presentation for NAPNAP's 2025 National Conference. Studies have shown the benefits of SMART (single maintenance and rescue therapy) have improved asthma control, reduced exacerbations, decreased oral steroid use and improved quality of life for patients not controlled with conventional therapy. SMART likely improves long-term asthma control and reduces the potential for over reliance on SABAs (short acting beta agonists). In this presentation, SMART will be presented in the context of case studies, and we will review challenges to implementation of SMART.

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: 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: 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.
