Learning Objectives
Blueprint ID Learning Objectives
9179 Discuss the principles of the examination and investigation in patients with neural tube defects
9180 Describe the treatment option for patients with neural tube defects, including: (a) surgical closure of the defect, (b) ventricular peritoneal shunting, and (c) Arnold Chiari malformation
9181 Discuss the impact of neural tube defects on the patient and their families and also the patient’s response to their illness
9935 Identify risk factors or relevant family history for development delay; any risk factors for hearing impairment or parents have any concerns about behavior or development.
9936 Assess whether there was a congenital infection (eg: HIV infection).
9937 Assess whether there were factors predisposing to speech delay/language skills (eg: ototoxic drugs, recurrent otitis, mastoiditis), delay in fine/gross motor function, self-help.
9938 Perform a developmental assessment to confirm/disprove development delay (general/restricted).
9939 List indications for referral for audiology assessment or speech and language pathologist.
9940 List indications for referral for diagnostic development assessment, investigations for chromosomal, metabolic, or other genetic disorder or neurologic evaluation.
9941 Differentiate if there is reason to suspect child abuse or neglect.
9942 Select children in need of specialized care.
9943 Develop a plan once a diagnosis of global delay is made, along with other care givers, provide support for parents with the management plan (may include, when appropriate, medical care, multidisciplinary services, family support, child placement and academic support). (In a child with speech/language development delay, plan may include when appropriate, speech therapy, amplification devices, family support and educational modifications).
