About These Treatment Plans

As a pediatric nurse practitioner, I created these treatment plans to support the families I see in clinic.

These plans are meant to supplement the education you receive from your pediatrician, not replace it. They’re here in case you misplaced the paperwork from your visit, need a refresher, or want to feel more confident in what to watch for and how to care for your child at home.

Each treatment plan follows a consistent format:

“The patient and parent verbalized a clear understanding of the plan, including when to seek further medical evaluation.”

This final statement reflects that the care plan was reviewed and understood before leaving the visit.
