Welcome to The Peds NP Acute Care Faculty series! This series was created and peer-reviewed by national leaders in acute care PNP education collaborating with one another to meet the needs of our current and future colleagues. In the push for competency-based education where faculty verify the skills of what a student can do, rather than their knowledge, our series focuses on the application of didactic content with a practical approach so that you can learn nuances of clinical skills before you reach the bedside.
This episode reviews the features of a patient presentation in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and goes in depth on how learners can incorporate trends, new findings, and summaries into a succinct discussion in family-centered rounds. After an introduction with some general best practices, the guide begins with effective pre-rounding and progresses to the step-by-step components of a PICU patient presentation. The template describes each component’s contents in detail, followed immediately by an example to demonstrate the practical application of each concept… “It might sound something like this:”... This episode is a valuable tool for any pediatric provider seeking to increase their skills in succinct synthesis and patient presentations, regardless of clinical setting.
