PLAN
1. Well-Child Care
- Age-appropriate anticipatory guidance provided
- Discussed nutrition, physical activity, sleep hygiene, safety, and screen time
- Return for annual well-child visit in one year
2. HPV Vaccination
Administer first dose of HPV vaccine (Gardasil 9) today 1, 2. The American Cancer Society and American Academy of Pediatrics support routine HPV vaccination starting at age 9-12 years, with evidence showing that earlier vaccination (ages 9-10) may improve on-time completion rates and is at least as effective as vaccination at age 11-12 1, 3. The vaccine is administered as a 0.5 mL intramuscular injection 2.
- Schedule second dose in 6-12 months (two-dose series for patients initiating before age 15)
- Provided vaccine information statement (VIS)
- No contraindications identified
3. ADHD Evaluation
Proceed with systematic ADHD assessment per AAP/DSM-5 criteria 4. The primary care clinician should determine if DSM-5 criteria are met by documenting symptoms and impairment in more than one major setting (home and school) 4.
Next steps:
- Obtain completed Vanderbilt teacher assessment forms (minimum one teacher, preferably two if available)
- Review both parent and teacher Vanderbilt forms at follow-up visit
- Assess for DSM-5 criteria: requires 6+ symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity present for ≥6 months, with impairment in ≥2 settings, and symptoms present before age 12
- Rule out alternative causes (learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, family stressors)
- Schedule follow-up visit in 2-3 weeks to review completed assessments and formulate diagnosis/treatment plan
- Continue current therapy for family stressors
4. Scoliosis Evaluation
Order AP and lateral spine radiographs (scoliosis series) to evaluate left shoulder drop and screen for structural scoliosis
- If Cobb angle ≥10 degrees, refer to pediatric orthopedics
- If Cobb angle <10 degrees, monitor with repeat examination in 6 months
- Discussed findings with mother; explained that most mild curves do not progress but require monitoring during growth
5. Psychosocial Support
- Continue current therapy related to father's incarceration
- Provided resources for family support
- Mother encouraged to maintain open communication with school
