EARLY CHILDHOOD < 7 YRS Remember they are egocentric and

![Page 23: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

PHYSICAL & DEVELOPMENTAL ASSESSMENT
![Page 26: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
PHYSICAL EXAM GUIDELINES Non-threatening environment Place frightening equipment out of sight Provide privacy Provide time for play (stuffed animals, dolls) Observe for behaviors re: child’s readiness to
cooperate Begin with the least intrusive examination
(observation)
![Page 27: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
AGE-SPECIFIC APPROACHES TO EXAM Infant: auscultate heart, lungs first
(head to toe NOT always appropriate)
Toddler: inspect body area through play, introduce equipment slowly
Preschool: if cooperative: proceed head to toe, if not: same as toddler
School-age and Adolescents: head to toe, genitalia last, respect privacy
![Page 28: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL EXAM Growth measurements
Height, weight, head circumference (<3 yrs)
Physiologic measurements (VS)
General appearance (hygiene, posture, behavior)
Body Systems (heart, lungs, abdomen are key areas)
![Page 29: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
DENVER DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING TEST (DDST-II) Evaluates development for children 0-6 in
four areasPersonal-socialFine-motorLanguageGross motor
Child’s mood must be typical for results to be valid
Results may be altered if child is not feeling well, sedated
![Page 30: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
DENVER DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING TEST (DDST-II)
Provides a clinical impression on child’s overall development
Not a predictor of future development, not an IQ test
Used for noting problems, monitoring, and to base a referral for additional developmental testing
![Page 31: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
NURSING INTERVENTIONS BASED ON DEVELOPMENTAL AGE
(NOT CHRONOLOGICAL AGE) Infants (0-12m)
Use soft voice, sing-song, Talk to and describe procedures as they are done
Toddlers (1-3 yr) Separation anxiety peaks (nurse is a stranger) Preparation for a procedure should begin
immediately before the event
![Page 32: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
NURSING INTERVENTIONS BASED ON DEVELOPMENTAL AGE
(NOT CHRONOLOGICAL AGE)
Preschool (4-5 yr) Explain procedures according to senses (what
child will feel, see, hear) Imagination is active...may see procedures as a
consequence for misbehavior
School-age (6-10 yr) Use books, pictures to explain procedures Developmentally ready for detailed explanations Organizing and collecting is an enjoyed activity Peers become more important, parents still main
influence
![Page 33: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
NURSING INTERVENTIONS BASED ON DEVELOPMENTAL AGE
(NOT CHRONOLOGICAL AGE)
Pre-Adolescents/Adolescents (11 & up) Value privacy, group identification is
importantMay have an need for independenceOlder adolescent can understand adult
concepts Can be prepared for a procedure up to a
week in advance
![Page 34: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
DISCIPLINE (LIMIT SETTING) Reinforcement of desired behaviors is
most effective Consequences for negative behaviors
Teaching parents how to discipline avoids problems related to incorrect use Appropriate limit setting Consistency Consequences should be told in advance Include truthful explanation of why behavior is
unacceptablePhysical punishment is the least effective
![Page 35: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
LIMIT SETTING AND THE TODDLER Discipline must be consistent,
immediate, realistic, age-appropriate, and related to the incident
Clearly explain limits and give time for toddlers to respond
Avoid arguments and extensive explanations
Avoid withdrawing love as punishment Separate toddler from behavior Praise toddler for good behavior
![Page 36: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

INFANCY 0-6 MONTHS Breastmilk most desirable
Fe fortified formula alternative
No whole milk until 1 year oldAltered ability to be digestedIncreased risk of contaminationLack of components needed for
appropriate growth
![Page 38: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
INFANCY 6-12 MONTHS Breast milk or formula remains the
primary source of nutrition May begin addition of solids b/c:
GI tract is mature to handle complex nutrients
GI tract is less sensitive to allergenic foods
Extrusion reflex has disappearedSwallowing is more coordinatedHead control is well developed,
voluntary grasping begins
![Page 39: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

INFANCY 0-6 MONTHSNo solids before 4-6 months of age
b/c: Solids are not compatible with GI tract
Exposure to food antigens that may produce a food-protein allergy
Extrusion reflex still present (pushes food out of mouth)
![Page 41: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

PEDIATRIC PAIN ASSESSMENT“Pain is whatever the child experiencing it says it is”.
![Page 58: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
CHILDREN ARE UNDER-MEDICATED BECAUSE OF THESE MYTHS:o infants don’t feel pain
o children tolerate pain better than adults
o children cannot tell you where it hurts
o children always tell the truth about pain
o children become accustomed to painful procedures
o parents do not want to be involved in child’s pain control
o narcotics are more dangerous for children
![Page 59: Student Version Introduction to Child Health Nursing 2012-2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d1391a28ab9b0295a5ed/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
INTERVENTIONSNurses have an ethical obligation
to relieve a child’s suffering
