    Study Notes

    Human Growth and Development

    • Human growth and development is a sequence of biophysical, psychosocial, and cognitive changes, enabling individuals to adapt to their environment within society.
    • Growth is the change in physical size that can be measured.
    • Development is a continuous, orderly progression leading to activities, new motivations, and behavioral patterns.

    Antecedents of Human Growth and Development

    • Normal biological/genetic factors play a role.
    • Good nutritional status supports growth.
    • A healthy environment promotes development.
    • Good health status is crucial.

    Attributes of Normal Human Growth and Development

    • Normal development requires demonstrating expected developmental and physical maturation, physiological function, and appropriate tasks for a person's age.
    • Developmental milestones encompass motor, social, emotional, cognitive, and communication skills.
    • Developmental tasks are specific to different stages.

    Nursing Interventions Based on Outcomes

    • Positive Outcomes: No changes are needed; the focus is on maintaining the current state.
    • Negative Outcomes: Nursing care focuses on changing behaviors or environments to promote antecedents of optimal development. This may involve:
      • Primary interventions: Health promotion and disease prevention.
      • Secondary interventions: Screening and diagnosis after a health issue arises.
      • Tertiary interventions: Rehabilitation and restoration to the highest possible functioning level after a healthcare problem has been resolved.

    Nursing Process

    • Assessment: A comprehensive history, focused assessment questions, and review of systems to evaluate a patient.
      • Physical assessments of the patient, including wellness checks, physical assessments of children and adults, and evaluating growth and developmental milestones.
    • Interventions: Involvement of various healthcare professionals such as physicians, pediatricians, geriatricians, nurse practitioners, child life specialists, case managers, psychologists, nutritionists, spiritual counselors, and social workers.

    Risk Factors

    • Stressors that can affect growth and development: Inadequate care, multiple caregivers, prolonged painful treatments, illnesses, and environmental stresses.
    • Other risk factors: Separation from parents/family, environmental/stimulation deficiencies, physical disabilities, lifestyle choices, emotional stress, poor nutrition/obesity, genetics, neglect/abuse, and poverty.

    Summary of Developmental Stages

    • Birth to 1 year: Assess weight, length, head circumference, and Fontanelle size. Assess ability to calm self and adapt to stimuli. Motor and sensory skills include symmetrical movements, following objects, responding to sounds, cooing, babbling, laughing, vocalizing. Eating and drinking appropriate amounts of breast milk/formula/solids; normal elimination and sleep patterns are expected.
    • Toddlers (1-3 years): Assess weight, height, head circumference, and vital signs. Evaluate vision and hearing abilities appropriate for age. Motor skills include walking stairs, balancing on one foot, jumping, walking on toes, copying circles, building bridges, and riding tricycles. Psychosocial development involves expressing likes/dislikes, curiosity, accepting separation, communicating in sentences, eating a variety of foods, and developing bladder/bowel control.
    • Preschoolers (4-5 years): Assess height, weight, vitals, vision, and hearing. Motor skills include skipping, jumping rope, climbing, riding a bike with training wheels, and printing. Psychosocial development includes separating from parents, displaying imagination and creativity, playing cooperatively, and recognizing differences in gender/sex. Self-care skills such as toileting, hygiene, dressing/undressing, and engaging in bedtime rituals are expected.
    • School-age Children (6-12 years): Assess height, weight, vitals, vision, and hearing abilities. Motor skills include climbing trees, riding bikes, performing tricks, throwing/catching balls, and playing musical instruments. Psychosocial development includes friendships, understanding of right/wrong, reading/writing, and personal responsibility.
    • Adolescents (12-18 years): Assess height, weight, vitals, vision, and hearing; sexual development and psychosocial considerations are important. Psychosocial attributes involve appropriate interaction with authority figures, maintaining a positive self-image, reflecting on future plans, seeking help when needed, demonstrating knowledge of puberty/reproduction, and maintaining cleanliness.
    • Young Adults (20-40 years): Assess weight, vital signs, vision, and hearing, and appropriate knowledge of sexuality and feelings of independence. Psychosocial aspects include realistic self-concept, positive self-perception, coping with stressors, and adopting values.
    • Middle-Aged Adults (40-65 years): Assess weight, vital signs, vision, and hearing, and appropriate knowledge of sexuality. Psychosocial factors include adapting to changes in the body, maintaining self-respect, and maintaining satisfactory social interactions.
    • Older Adults (65+ years): Assess weight, vital signs, vision, and hearing, and adjustment to bodily/physiological changes. Psychosocial characteristics include satisfactory management of retirement, participation in social and leisure activities, and maintaining a high level of self-esteem.
