- Advise on tobacco use restrictions in the home environment.
- Recommend modifications to reduce dust mites.
- Share asthma attack management plans with preschool teachers.

- Puberty typically begins with a growth spurt in height and weight.
- Puberty onset is determined by genetics, environmental factors, and gender.
- Secondary sex characteristics develop throughout puberty.
Teratogens and Fetal Development
- Pregnant clients should avoid hyperthermia, uncontrolled glucose levels, rubella, and smoking to protect fetal health.
