Sleep problems in pediatric practiceClinical issues for the pediatric nurse practitioner
Abstract
Sleep problems are highly prevalent in children and adolescents, but often go unrecognized and untreated in clinical settings. The purposes of this paper are to provide pediatric nurse practitioners with an understanding of the impact of sleep problems on children, their families, and on clinical pediatric practice; examine clinical practice issues that pediatric nurse practitioners identify as important regarding pediatric sleep; and provide practical information on current resources available for pediatric nurse practitioners and their patients on the prevention and treatment of pediatric sleep problems. The discussion of these issues incorporates results from a needs assessment survey on pediatric sleep completed by 317 pediatric nurse practitioners who attended the April 2003 Annual Conference of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners.

When disorders of arousal episodes are highly predictable, arousing the patient 15-20 min prior to the usual onset of a typical episode for 1 to 4 weeks may induce sustained positive results, at least in children with sleepwalking, sleep terrors, or confusional arousals.
“When the occurrence of DoA episodes is highly predictable, arousing the patient 15–20 min prior to the usual onset of a typical episode for 1 to 4 weeks may induce sustained positive results, at least in children with SW [131], ST [132], or CA [133,134].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
