Study Notes
TICLS Acronym Overview
- TICLS stands for Tone, Interactiveness, Consolability, Look/Gaze, and Speech/Cry.
- This acronym is used as a quick reference for assessing pediatric patients effectively.
Tone
- Refers to the child's muscle tone and overall body posture.
- Assessment of tone can indicate neurological function and level of distress.
Interactiveness
- Measures the child's ability to engage with others and respond to stimuli.
- High interactiveness is typically a positive sign of a child's neurological health.
Consolability
- Evaluates how easily a child can be comforted or calmed.
- Poor consolability may indicate significant discomfort or distress.
Look/Gaze
- Observes the child's ability to focus and make eye contact.
- A lack of gaze can suggest issues with visual attention or neurological impairments.
Speech/Cry
- Involves assessing the quality and appropriateness of a child's speech and cry.
