OVERVIEW AND INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Pediatric Nutrition, a self-directed, accredited CPE program. Pediatric Nutrition is specialized medical nutrition therapy (MNT) that focuses on nutrition intervention over the spectrum from infancy to adolescence. This CPE program specifically focuses on nutrition therapy for the school-age child (ages 5 to 12 years) and some of the nutritional/medical issues that are particular to this population. With the childhood obesity epidemic on the rise in the United States, nutrition professionals must be savvy regarding normal pediatric nutrient needs, as well as how to properly assess the overweight child. Surprisingly, school-age children are also vulnerable to eating disorders. It is also the age when many children get involved in sports activities through school or in their community for the first time. Therefore, it is during these school-age years that some parents and even the children themselves begin to ask questions about proper nutrition and seek out various resources for the answers. Being able to educate children and their families and develop nutrition care plans while incorporating evidenced-based nutritional practices is what distinguishes the nutrition professional as the expert.
This is a level 2 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) program approved for ten continuing professional education units (CPEUs). That means that the reader has general knowledge of the literature and professional practice in the area covered. The focus of this CPE program is to enhance knowledge and application.
To get the most benefit from this program, we suggest you adhere to the following four steps:
Step 1: Review the objectives.
Step 2: Study each chapter. As you read, think of patients from your own practice that fit the situation described.
Step 3: Assess what you have learned by completing the self-assessment instrument at the end of this CPE program.
Step 4: Compare your answers to the answer key that has been provided. If you score at least 80% (40 questions) correct, you are ready to transfer your answers to the CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION REPORTING FORM. If you scored less than 80% correct, re-read this CPE program until you score at least 80% correct.
