Week 4 Discussion – Assessment & Management of HEENT
Disorders
In clinical settings, head, eye, ear, nose, and throat (HEENT)
disorders account for the majority of pediatric visits. With the
prevalence of these disorders, you must be familiar with their
signs and symptoms as well as evidence-based practices for
assessment and treatment. Although many pediatric patients
present with common HEENT disorders such as ear infections,
allergies, and strep throat, some patients present with rare
disorders requiring specialist care. In your role, making this
distinction between when to treat and when to refer is essential.
For this Discussion, examine the following case studies and
consider potential diagnoses and management strategies. Week 4
