Slide 1 of 3: Patient.

Patient

1 / 3

A 6-year-old with autism has multiple visible carious lesions and intermittent dental pain. The patient communicates using short phrases and a visual communication board. Bright lights and unfamiliar sounds cause distress.

The caregiver reports that preparation and familiar routines help with some medical visits. The medication list, airway history, and prior sedation experience have not yet been reviewed.

Take in the slide and describe what you see, then move on.
