Reference no: EM133381736

Evidence-based screening tools are widely used in clinical practice when caring for a pediatric patient, especially is assessing development. There are many factors to consider in choosing an appropriate screening instrument for the pediatric patient, including validity, specificity, and sensitivity to ensure the tool is used for the age range and purpose it was designed and validated for. First, individually search online for a screening tool used in the health care setting focusing on preventative care that helps a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) in the assessment of a pediatric patient.

Provide a description and/or link to the screening tool you found and critique the screening tool to determine its value for a primary care setting, including its ease of use, scoring and interpretation, and limitations.
Discuss a patient example that would fit the need for such a screening tool and discuss additional physical exam components, clinical management plan, and/or referrals the FNP would need to do based on the knowledge gained from the screening tool.
Identify key referrals and interprofessional team members that would be appropriate for managing the patients based upon screening tool results, with rationale.
