PALS

A PALS attendee assess the scenario presented to them, considers the options and makes the choice as to which treatment should be performed. The simulated patient will receive the PALS recommended treatment as part of the class management and mission. Pediatric patients are exposed to allergies and requires one to find the proper diagnoses with limited information based on their PALS learned skills. One must find and ask parents in many cases where the parent (wife / husband) may provide conflicting information and materials. Completing a patient history and immediate information surrounding the event is not easily uncovered in an infant patient. Parents rights, as well as the infants, must be preserved and legal issues will be discussed in PALS class. Allergies related to pets like cats and dogs may be overlooked along with food allergies. Pets like cats and dogs should be explored. Consideration if a pet has been with the family for years or did the dog or cat recently join the family. The passing of bacteria or simple pet dander is not beyond man’s best friend to convey. The love of a pet or friend may not override the medical considerations of the environment. In addition, a pediatric patient must receive proper care and have the opportunity for a healthy and safe environment. Concepts like pediatric shock where the difference in symptoms from adults to infants must be recognized and are taught in this PALS class.
