Assignment

  1. Now identify the vaccines needed at this visit. This patient is currently up to date and has received all recommended vaccines on time at previous well visits.
  2. List all abnormal assessment findings on the patient's physical exam.
  3. List pertinent and specific patient teaching points based on the recommended vaccines to be given at the well-child visit (minimum of seven) and develop a patient teaching handout for the parents. (Be sure to include the patient teaching handout for parents in the upload.)
