Discussion: Working With Children And Adolescents Versus Adults

Infant, childhood, and adolescent development are a continual interplay between nature (genetic or biologic predisposition) and nurture (environmental experiences). The nature/nurture continuum and debate will always be a part of your career as a PMHNP.  Knowing common developmental milestone is important in the role as a child provider. Not only is it essential to the diagnostic process, but it is also important to the interdisciplinary interactions with other mental health professionals. The study of normal developmental processes, however, is only one tool that allows the mental health professional to understand the child being evaluated. There are many different assessment instruments and interviewing techniques that PMHNPs can have in their toolkit when working with children and adolescents.

Connecting Health And Health Care Presentation

Connecting Health And Health Care Presentation

According to Kindig and Stoddart (2003), population health is the health outcomes of a group of individuals. While some perspectives consider population health as only the distribution of such health outcomes within the group, there are others who are concerned with social and environmental factors, policies, and interventions as indicators of population health. As a health care professional, some combination of both is likely how you will address the factors and distribution of the health outcomes with a given population.
