Family-centered care

An approach where the family is the primary source of strength and expertise in caring for the child. The family is treated as a partner in the child's care and is involved in all aspects of the treatment plan.

Erickson's Trust vs. Mistrust Stage

The first stage of Erikson's psychosocial development occurs from birth to 1 year old. During this stage, infants learn to trust their caregivers to provide for their basic needs. If their needs are met, they develop a sense of trust. If not, they develop mistrust.

Piaget's Sensorimotor Stage

The first stage of Piaget's theory of cognitive development occurs from birth to 2 years old. During this stage, infants learn about the world through their senses and motor actions. They develop object permanence, the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they are out of sight.

What is the difference between Erikson and Piaget's theories?

Erikson's theory focuses on psychosocial development, or how individuals develop a sense of self and their relationship with others. Piaget's focuses on cognitive development, or how individuals learn and reason about the world.

Study Notes

Child Safety

  • Most significant risk factor for death and serious injury in a car crash is failure to use a size-appropriate restraint system
  • Use approved car seat for age and weight (4 yrs/40 lbs, 8 yrs/80 lbs)
  • Infants should be rear-facing until age 2 unless the child reaches the maximum weight/height for the seat
  • Forward-facing seats require a harness system; the back of the seat should be higher than the top of the head
  • Back seats are always the safest; children should remain in back until age 13

Infant Home Safety

  • Choking hazards
  • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
  • Home hazards (stairs, walkers, cords)
  • Falls
  • Accidental poisonings
  • Animal-related harm
  • Water-related accidents (drowning, burns)
  • Toy safety (appropriate for the child's age) - Saturday is the most dangerous day for home accidents
  • Keep small objects out of reach

Hospital Infant Safety

  • Crib rails up
  • No small objects
  • Minimize bedding
  • Child should be close to the nurse station
  • Encourage family to stay in the room
  • Correct type of formula, correct breast milk for the child
  • Prevent ingestion or poisoning (90% of poisonings occur in the home)
  • Keep small items out of reach of children
  • Teach parents emergency care, proper procedures.
