Protocol for Diagnosis, Management, and Follow-Up Care of Growth and Development and Psychosocial Issues As pediatric patients grow from infancy to adolescence, there are many common growth and development and psychosocial issues that may potentially present. As an advanced practice nurse caring for these patients, you must be able to recognize red flags and select age-appropriate assessment and treatment options. In this Assignment, you prepare for your role in clinical settings as you design an age-specific protocol for the diagnosis, management, and follow-up care for a common growth and development or psychosocial issue. The topic for the protocol paper is ******Illiteracy******. Keep in mind that in addition to the topic you selected, you must also select which age group you will address. In this Assignment, you will design an age-specific protocol for the diagnosis, management, and follow-up care for a common growth and development or psychosocial issue. As you reflect on your topic and assignment requirements, I want to remind you of a few pointers. As listed in the assignment requirements: • Reflect on the age group and the growth and development or psychosocial issue that you selected in Week 2. • Think about the epidemiology of the issue. • Consider an age-appropriate protocol for the diagnosis, management, and follow-up care of the issue you selected. • Think about how culture might impact the care of patients that present with this issue. Address only the requirements as indicated in the assignment. If there are any uncertainties or questions, please reach out sooner than later. I want to make sure everyone is clear on the assignment expectations and that all of your questions are answered. To complete the assignment: Write a 2- to 3-page paper (the 2-3 page requirement does not count the cover and/or reference page as part of the 2-3 pages) that addresses the following: • Explain a growth and development or psychosocial issue that might present in the age group you selected.
