1. Review the roles of pertussis and rotavirus immunization and antibiotic use in children.
2. Counsel overweight patients and parents of overweight children about diet and exercise.
3. Weigh risks and benefits of primary prevention modalities, such as use of aspirin for heart disease and cancer screening.
4. Differentiate among commonly used illicit drugs, such as cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and marijuana.
