set of fx skills/age-related tasks that most children do @ a certain age
- gross motor
- fine motor
- self-help/adative
- cog
- social/emo
- language
stand screedning recommended @ 9mo
___ children have dev/behav disorder
15%
early intervention
state run program that eval child for dev delays: futhur screening and potential tx
dev milestones during infancy
immunizations for neonates
most important roles of ped docs
- impt to vacc infant caregivers aga influenza and pertussis
should be reviewed @ each visit
gen starts with hep B
phys exam of neoname
exam table/open crib
- start with inspection
- heart and lung
- head –> toe: ear and hips for last (b/c more irritating)
- eye when infants eyes are spont open
older infants >6mo can be started with parent holding infant on lap/arms
temp should always be meas -_____ in children under age ____
rectal
2
normal VS for infants: temp, HR, RR, BP
periodic breathing
infants: RR may vary sig from min to min
growth meas of infant include
usually plotted on:
length
wt
head circumceference (over more prominent portion of occiput to supraorbital ridge)
**when baby is supine
plotted on WHO
- b/c breast -fed babies usually grow faster in first 6mo than formula ones and then slow down and then they both should be similar
