NASPAG's Protocols for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology

The first resource to focus on pediatric and adolescent gynecology from the perspective of
frontline healthcare providers
This one-of-a-kind, quick-access guide for nurses delivers current patient assessment and
management information for the specialized field of pediatric and adolescent gynecology
(PAG). Underscoring the need to consider the unique questions and concerns of the younger
population as distinct from those of adults, this authoritative resource addresses a multitude
of common PAG patient questions and chief complaints, including acute and chronic
conditions and commonly prescribed medications and their potential side effects.
Helping to foster sound decision-making in triage settings, chapters highlight red flags to
consider. They include a list of pertinent questions to ask the patient, provide assessment
directives, recommend appropriate interventions and/or delegation as needed, and describe
commonly prescribed medications. Chapters also present considerations for special
populations, particularly those who may be at a higher risk for gynecologic problems,
medication side effects, and/or medication interactions. To facilitate ease of use, this guide is
organized into chapters based on medication or chief complaint.
