The foundation of pediatric healthcare visits, both sick and well, starts with a thorough health history; from the data collected, an accurate physical examination and diagnosis can be made. Primary care healthcare visits are an integral part of ensuring the health and well-being of the child. In children that participate in sports, a preparticipation physical examination (PPE) is required and may be the only contact the healthy child has with their healthcare provider.

Discussion:

Case:

Shelby is a 5-year-old female, brought to the clinic by her parents and will be starting kindergarten in the fall. The parents state that she needs her physical and shot record to register her for school. The parents state that she has been healthy and voice no concerns although Shelby is “scared” about the exam and vaccines.

Answer:

How would you address Shelby’s fear of the exam and vaccines?

What age-appropriate screenings and lab tests are recommended for Shelby? What immunizations will Shelby require, if any?

Role Conflict and Ambiguity

Rovithis et al. (2017) explained that role conflict characterized as the incompatibility of obligations and expectations from the role, where compatibility is decided based on a set of requirements that affect role performance. Conflict may also happen when people oppose what the expectations are for a distinct role. Role conflict described as a perception of being ripped in various places at the same time, incapable of finding a mean to perform and satisfied everyone involves on a specific task. Role conflict arose when the interest of time and effort required roles become incompatible with one another and stressful, that is when assistance in one part cuts the other, making it challenging or yet unlikely to partake in another task (Rovithis et al., 2017).

As mentioned by Mafuba, Kupara, Cozens, and Kudita (2015) role ambiguity is seen as the circumstances where a person does not have a clear understanding of what is expected of him concerning a work assignment, and the conditions to perform his responsibilities. Role ambiguity takes place when someone job description is not established, and the person becomes anxious to take charge and make decisions that might be out of their scope of practice. Role ambiguity also characterized as the absence of satisfactory information which required for a person to fulfill a role adequately. The constant interaction of role ambiguity can develop, therefore, the evolution of role conflict and role ambiguity seems to be unavoidable (Mafuba, Kupara, Cozens, & Kudita, 2015). This presentation aims to review literature mainly discussing the significance of the role conflict and role ambiguity, the impact on leadership or healthcare organizations, and their implications for nursing leaders.
