The lecture on pediatric cardiac assessment is designed for school nurses to address the critical educational need for enhanced skills in identifying, monitoring, and supporting students with cardiac concerns, given their role as frontline healthcare providers in schools. Key practice gaps include limited exposure to pediatric cardiology, difficulty differentiating normal from abnormal findings, lack of confidence in assessment, inadequate knowledge of common pediatric cardiac conditions, and challenges in communication and emergency management, all of which this course aims to bridge through a systematic approach to assessment, recognition of red flags, and development of individualized care plans.
