Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if use of a standardized classification system could help identify potential nursing sensitive problems for caregivers of children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD).
Method: This study is a secondary analysis of data obtained from transcripts of public testimonies. Content analysis was conducted using a standardized classification system. The sample consisted of 376 statements from electronic transcripts of first person testimonies given by 48 caregivers of children with FASD in four states.
Findings: Forty-eight caregivers expressed a total of 53 signs and symptoms. The majority was in the problem areas: communication with community resources, caretaking/parenting, mental health, and income. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Using a nursing classification system, investigators were able to identify nursing sensitive problems expressed by caregivers of children with FASD. The information from this study can be used in future studies to confirm or revise the signs/symptoms identified in this study.

Background: Despite the adverse health outcomes associated with longer duration diarrhea (LDD), there are currently no clinical decision tools for timely identification and better management of children with increased risk. This study utilizes machine learning (ML) to derive and validate a predictive model for LDD among children presenting with diarrhea to health facilities.
Methods: LDD was defined as a diarrhea episode lasting ≥ 7 days.

Objectives: Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) caused by pathogenic variants in SCN8A are associated with difficult-to-treat and early-onset seizures, developmental delay/intellectual disability, impaired quality of life, and increased risk of early mortality. High doses of sodium channel blockers are typically used to treat SCN8A-DEE caused by gain-of-function (GoF) variants. However, seizures are often drug resistant, and only a few patients achieve seizure freedom.
