Hey what's going on guys and welcome to episode 54 of the

physician-assisten boards dot-com podcast and today's topic well we're actually

going to do something different.

So I want to try a new format for you guys, and I would love your feedback.

So what I thought I would do, instead of doing these 20 minute topics where I kind of talk about just one thing,

I was thinking of maybe changing it up a little bit and giving you maybe a few more

podcasts throughout the week, maybe two or three, making them a little bit bit shorter maybe around you know three to five

minutes and you know throwing in some actual clinical pearls in there because I get a

lot of questions about clinical you know the clinical aspect of medicine and that's not really something that's taught a lot.

So I thought this would be a good way of changing pace.

Now, if you like or you don't like, I'd really appreciate an email.

I'd really like to know you know what you

guys are thinking because like I said before many times I'm ultimately doing this to

help you guys out so what I'm gonna do today is I'm gonna talk about the urine

dipstick for a child with a

you're I and the reason I chose to talk about this topic is because I see it over and

over and over again you know why are you ordering a dipstick if the child has you or I symptoms right so the child

comes in he's got a little bit of ruddy nose he's got a cough he's got some nasal

congestion and you get a dipstick you know always know why you're ordering a test and if you don't

know why then don't order it.

And if it's ordered, I mean if it's ordered it's ordered, right?

But what are you going to do with those results?
