JPHC CE: Approaches to Treating Children With ADHD and Common Comorbidities
1.0 NAPNAP contact hour of which 1.0 contain pharmacology content (Rx), (1.0 is related to psychopharmacology), (0.25 is related to controlled substance). 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.

JPHC CE: Female Genital Mutilation and Cutting: Essentials for Pediatric Nurse Practitioners
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.

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.

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.

1.25 NAPNAP contact hour of which 0.5 contain pharmacology content (Rx). This continuing education activity is offered free to NAPNAP Members. For nonmembers, this continuing education activity rate is $10. Syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum, has become a concerning resurgence in recent years, particularly in the United States. Of significant concern is the steep rise in congenital syphilis cases, which poses grave risks to maternal and neonatal health. This article provides an overview of the epidemiology, risk factors, clinical manifestations, screening methods, and treatment strategies for syphilis, with a specific focus on congenital transmission. Drawing upon current literature and guidelines, the paper underscores the importance of early detection and intervention to prevent adverse outcomes associated with congenital syphilis. Furthermore, the article highlights the challenges in syphilis diagnosis, including the interpretation of serological tests and the management of neurosyphilis. Recommendations for practice, including screening protocols and treatment regimens, are discussed in detail. The conclusion emphasizes the urgent need for collaborative efforts among healthcare providers, public health agencies, and community stakeholders to address the syphilis epidemic effectively. By adhering to evidence-based guidelines and leveraging available resources, clinicians can play a pivotal role in reducing the burden of syphilis and safeguarding the health of vulnerable populations, particularly pregnant women and infants.

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.
