Question 25

Short Answer

How would a child’s response to EMS change from birth through adolescence?

Answer 25

Your ability to communicate with younger patients will depend on their stage of development. An infant is often perfectly charming, compliant, and willing to cooperate. However, as children develop separation anxiety and fear of strangers, your approach will have to be more delicate. Later, among the adolescent age group, kids strive for independence. Body image and privacy are a big concern. Most adolescents want you to treat them as adults yet still want to fully indulge in the comforts of childhood.
