Study Notes
Renal System Changes
- Age-related changes in the renal system lead to decreased waste clearance and fluid conservation abilities.
Separation Anxiety in Children
- Peaks between 10 to 18 months of age.
Lung Capacity in Late Adults
- Aged individuals often have increased residual air in the lungs, hindering gas diffusion.
Anterior Fontanelle Fusion
- The anterior fontanelle typically fuses at 9 to 18 months.
Cardiac Function Decline
- Commonly associated with atherosclerosis in late adulthood.
Infant Development (9 months)
- Notable characteristics include placing objects in the mouth and pulling up to stand.
Assessing Adolescent Patients
- Important to privately inquire about pregnancy for a 16-year-old female experiencing bleeding and cramping.
Blood Pressure in Infants
- Increases with age due to the correlation with normal body weight.
Infant Respiratory Rate
- A respiratory rate of 30 breaths per minute is considered normal for infants.
Increased Skull Bleeding Risk
- More directly related to the shrinkage of the brain as age increases.
Bag-Mask Ventilation in Infants
- Infants have fragile lungs, requiring careful management during ventilations.
Infants Developmental Milestone (3 months)
- A 3-month-old can reach out and typically starts drooling.
Attachment Types in Infants
- Repeated rejection leads to anxious-avoidant attachment.
Colds in Toddlers and Preschoolers
- Easily develop colds due to loss of passive immunity, underdeveloped lung musculature, and frequent social interactions with peers.
Toddler Pulse Rate
- Normal pulse rate ranges from 90 to 150 beats per minute.
Peer Approval in School-Age Children
- Seeking approval from peers indicates conventional reasoning.
Self-Concept
- Refers to an individual's perception of themselves and how they view their identity.
