Abstract
Evaluating and managing children in the urgent care setting can be quite challenging. Common pediatric chief complaints such as fever, cough, rash, or "fussiness" may be anything from a benign upper respiratory tract infection to a serious life-threatening condition. This chapter reviews the most common pitfalls in pediatrics and provides the practitioner with tips and techniques for avoidance.
