RESUMO

Background: Pediatric oncology patients receive multiple modalities of therapy to treat their malignancies. These modalities have the potential for acute toxicity and late effects. In the last decade, a new modality known as targeted biological therapy, has become an integral part of treatment for pediatric cancers. As targeted therapy use has increased, adverse events specific to these targeted agents have emerged, requiring a new effort focused on providing education to patients and families regarding how best to report, monitor, and manage these adverse events. Method: A clinical question was developed to guide the systematic literature review. Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitors were selected for review due to their frequency of use in pediatric oncology. The search was conducted to identify relevant articles published between January 1, 2000 and May 5, 2020. Articles were screened by two team members for inclusion/exclusion criteria using the web-based systematic review tool, Rayyan. Results: Twenty-seven articles met the eligibility criteria for inclusion and were evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation criteria. Adverse events for ALK and MEK inhibitors included manifestations of the gastrointestinal, hematologic, dermatologic, musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, and ocular systems. Recommendations for patient/family education were made for ALK and MEK inhibitors based on the reported adverse events. Conclusions: Adverse events of ALK and MEK inhibitors differ from the more common adverse events experienced with conventional treatment modalities used in pediatric oncology. It is important for nurses to include information regarding potential adverse events in patient/family education for children receiving these targeted agents.

RESUMO

Human trafficking is a human rights violation affecting millions worldwide. Victims may go unrecognized during their emergency department (ED) visit, and may lose the opportunity to address their complex needs. Using a published toolkit based on existing guidelines and recommendations from experts, and models from other centers, we describe the implementation of an ED response protocol. In following the recommendations of the toolkit, we began with attempts to fully understand the local human trafficking problem and then networked with those working in anti-trafficking efforts. Collaboration with other specialties is highlighted as a key part of this process. Building upon the knowledge gained from these steps, we were able to develop a concise protocol to guide members of our department in more effectively caring for known or suspected victims of human trafficking. The first section of the protocol addresses ways in which providers can identify at-risk patients through both screening questions and general observations. Interviewing techniques are outlined with an emphasis on patient-centered and trauma-informed care. Additionally, the protocol discusses physician responsibility in documenting encounters and legal reporting, which may vary depending on location. We stress the importance of meeting the needs of the patient while prioritizing the safety of all involved. Additionally, the protocol provides a list of resources for the patient beyond medical care such as emergency housing, legal assistance, and food pantries. The overall purpose of this protocol is to provide coordinated response so that all providers may be consistent in caring for this vulnerable population.
