\nPracticum: Decision Tree
\nFor this Assignment, you examine the client case study in this week\u2019s Learning Resources. Consider how you might assess and treat pediatric clients presenting with symptoms noted in the case.
\nNote: This Assignment is the first of three assignments that are based on interactive client case studies. For these assignments, you will be required to make decisions about how to assess and treat clients. Each of your decisions will have a consequence. Some consequences will be insignificant, and others may be life altering. You are not expected to make the \u201cright\u201d decision every time; in fact, some scenarios may not have a \u201cright\u201d decision. You are, however, expected to learn from each decision you make and demonstrate the ability to weigh risks versus benefits to prescribe appropriate treatments for clients.
