I-HUMAN CASE STUDY: EVALUATION
AND MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH AND
DEVELOPMENT ISSUES
Imagine this is your first day or perhaps your 500th day as a Family Nurse Practitioner. You
enter the examination room where a young child—infant, toddler, preschooler—and one or more
family members, who may be a parent, grandparent, or other caregiver, are waiting for you.
Imagine the child and family are new patients, and this is your first time meeting them.
That introduction sets the stage for this Assignment. You will use the i-Human technology to
meet and treat your avatar pediatric patient. Pay particular attention to the socio-cultural details
that are provided for the featured family. Consider what would be important for you to know and
to ask in order not only to assess, evaluate, and diagnose a young child, but also to develop
evidence-based treatment and management plans and recommend specific activities and routines
to promote health and wellness.

WEEKLY RESOURCES
To prepare:
• Review the Learning Resources. Consider how to apply understanding of
developmental milestones and socio-cultural family needs in assessing,
diagnosing, and treating pediatric patients.
• Access i-Human Patients from this week’s Learning Resources and review
the i-Human Case Study. Based on the provided patient information, think
about the health history you would need to collect from the patient.
• Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to
gather more information about the patient's condition. Reflect on how the
results would be used to make a diagnosis.
• Identify 3–5 possible conditions that may be considered in a differential
diagnosis for the patient.
• Consider the patient’s diagnosis. Think about clinical guidelines that might
support this diagnosis.
• Develop a treatment plan for the patient that includes health promotion and
patient education strategies for patients and families.
