Study Notes
Safe Sleep Positioning and Equipment Recalls
- Ensure safe sleep positioning to prevent SIDS
- Check for toy and equipment recalls to prevent injuries
Infant Developmental Milestones and Concerns
- Check for improvements in head control and response to loud noises
- Red flags: no attempts to lift head, extreme floppiness, lack of response to sounds or visual cues, poor weight gain
- Milestones: crawling by 12 months, responding to caregiver's eyes, and achieving developmental milestones
Infant and Family Care
- Priority nursing implications: hospitalization, medication administration, meeting needs of infant and family, and addressing separation anxiety
- Anticipatory guidance: medication administration, bathing, handling, developmental milestones, car seat safety, blood lead level screenings, injury prevention, and immunizations
Toddler and Preschooler Development
- Toddler age range: 1-3 years
- Preschooler age range: 3-6 years
- Normal vital signs: temperature, pulse, respirations, and blood pressure
Physical Assessment and Growth Development
- Adapt care to child's stage of growth and development
- Height and length measurements: how many inches per year
- Critical component: reflexes (tonic neck, Moro, and Babinski)
- Reflexes disappear at specific ages: 4-6 months (tonic neck and Moro), 1 year (Babinski)
Language Acquisition and Sensory Development
- Language acquisition: cooing, babbling, "dada" and "mama", and understanding words
- Sensory development: hearing, vision, and responding to sounds and visual cues
- Head control and sitting: 4-6 months, 8 months
- Standing and walking: 9-12 months
Psychosocial and Cognitive Development
- Recognizes familiar objects and people, expresses displeasure, and develops object permanence
- Social smile, language acquisition, and cognitive development
- Stranger anxiety, security objects, and displays emotions
Injury Prevention and Health Screenings
- Well-baby check-ups: schedule and ages
- Growth spurts: boys and girls
- Prepubescence: typical age and physical changes
- Dental care: first permanent teeth eruption, care, and exams
- Health screenings: vision, hearing, scoliosis, and developmental milestones
School-Aged Child Development
- Weight and height growth: 3 kg/year, 5 cm/year
- Growth spurt: females (10-12 years), males (12 years)
- Dental care: 6 years
- Health screenings: vision, hearing, scoliosis, and developmental milestones
- Psychosocial/intellectual development: Erikson stage, confidence, cognitive development, and solves problems
Adolescence Development
- Growth spurts: females (10-12 years), males (12 years)
- Visible sexual maturation: minimal in boys during preadolescence
- Rapid growth occurs
- Dental care: 6 years
- Health screenings: vision, hearing, scoliosis, and developmental milestones
- Cognitive development: solves problems, perspective, and conservation understood
- Psychosocial development: confidence, industry vs. inferiority, and best friends
Pediatric Physical Assessment
- Critical component: clinical judgment
- Children are physically and anatomically different from adults
- Proportionately larger heads, greater ratio of body surface area, and larger tongues and soft tissue
- Shorter, narrower airway, weaker abdominal muscles, and belly breathers
- Higher metabolic rates
- Physical assessment pearls: assess least to most invasive, intrusive and painful areas last, and pediatric vital sign ranges are age-specific.
