Study Notes
- Toddlers (1-3 years) have a pulse rate of 80-140 beats per minute, respiratory rate of 22-37, and systolic pressure around 86-100.
- Preschoolers (3-6 years) exhibit a pulse rate of 65-120 beats per minute, respiratory rate of 20-28, and systolic pressure of 89-112.
- Toddlers and preschoolers experience significant neuromuscular growth, with toddlers developing bladder control by 12-15 months and mastering language by 36 months.
- Playing is important for muscle and bone development in children, leading to increased muscle mass and bone density.
- School-age children (6-12 years) show gradual approaching of adult vital sign ranges, gain about 4 pounds and grow 2 inches each year.
- Adolescents (12-18 years) experience physical changes like rapid growth spurts, reproductive system maturity, and secondary sexual development.
- Adolescents strive for independence, may display rebellious behavior, and are influenced by peer pressure in forming their identity.
- Adolescents are at higher risk for mental health issues like suicide and depression, and may develop eating disorders and engage in high-risk behaviors.
