Abstract
Our hypothetical case study depicts the experience of a newly arrived refugee child, a 10-year-old refugee from war-torn Kyiv, Ukraine. She presented with symptoms of anxiety-related physical complaints following displacement and relocation to the United States. This case study illustrates the care provided by a pediatric nurse practitioner. A multidisciplinary approach was used to address her psychosomatic symptoms, mental health, malnutrition, immunization status, and social integration challenges.
