Study Notes
Overview of Growth and Development
- Covers physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth from infancy to adolescents.
- Includes prominent theories of development and significant topics such as milestones, health, nutrition, play, and safety.
Lesson Structure
- Six lessons total, each designed for 3 hours of instruction, except Lesson 6 (2 hours).
- Lessons focus on nursing care tailored for different age groups:
- Families with infants
- Families with toddlers
- Families with preschool children
- Families with school-age children
- Families with adolescents
Lesson 1: Principles of Growth & Development
- Emphasizes understanding child development as both challenging and rewarding.
- Highlights the importance of recognizing developmental milestones and appropriate nursing care.
- Learning outcomes include:
- Describing principles of growth and development.
- Identifying developmental stages per major theorists.
- Enumerating factors influencing growth and development.
- Applying nursing concepts holistically.
Warm-Up Activity
- Engage with questions on growth and development to assess prior knowledge.
Key Concepts of Growth and Development
- Growth refers to a quantitative change, such as an increase in height or weight, resulting from cell multiplication.
- Development indicates maturation of functions and acquisition of skills, representing qualitative changes.
- Growth ceases upon reaching maturity; development is a lifelong process that can occur without growth.
Principles of Growth and Development
- Continuous and orderly sequential processes, with both growth and learning happening simultaneously despite fluctuations in pace.
-
Patterns of Growth and Development:
- Cephalocaudal: Development progresses from head to toe.
- Proximodistal: Development moves from the center of the body to extremities.
- Gross to refined: Development begins with large motor skills and progresses to fine motor skills.
