    [NT 15000229]: Experience in caring for pediatric patients is essential for all physician assistant (PA) students. Through an organized and predictable approach, this book series serves as a guide and companion to help one feel prepared for what one will encounter during the clinical year. Each book was written by physician assistant educators, clinicians, and preceptors who are experts in their respective fields. Each book will answer questions such as, "What does my preceptor want me to know?" "What should I be familiar with prior to this rotation?" "What can I expect to encounter during this rotation?" This is followed by a guided approach to the clinical decision-making process for commonly presenting complaints, detailed explanations of common disease entities, and specialty-specific patient education. Chapters are organized in a way that will allow one to quickly access vital information that can help one recognize, diagnose, and treat commonly seen conditions. One can easily review suggested labs and diagnostic imaging for a suspected diagnosis and review urgent management of conditions specific to each rotation. Written by experienced PA educators, this guide details the clinical approach to common presentations such as cough, fever, and skin changes. It also provides a systems-based approach to more than 60 of the most frequently encountered disease entities one will see in this rotation, including dermatitis, pharyngitis, and otitis media. Distinguished by brief, bulleted content with handy tables and figures, the reference offers all pertinent laboratory and imaging studies needed to confirm a diagnosis, with medication and management guidelines. This guide also describes the most common procedures one will learn during the pediatrics rotation, including foreign body removal, reduction of subluxed radial head, and administration of nebulizer treatments. A special chapter on management of urgent pediatric conditions, such as asthma exacerbation, head injuries, and fractures, is also included.
