Q

4 principles of child development

A
  1. Child development proceeds along a predictable pathway 2. Range of normal is wide 3. various factors affect development(social, environmental, diseases) 4. The developmental conducts how one does the history and physical(hx from a 5 yr old is different than that from some bratty teen)

Q

True or Flase: You should examine the newborn prior to feeding since they will be the most responsive at that time.

A

False: The baby is most responsive 1-2 hours after feeding and that is the optimal time for the exam.

Breast development that occurs twixt 6 months and 2 years

71
Q

True/False: the clavicle may be fractured at birth.

A

TRUE

72

hold baby supine ad lower abruptly. arms should abduct, hands open and legs flex. birth to 4 months. Persistence may suggest cerebral palsy

91
Q

Asymmetric tonic neck reflex

baby supine, turn head to one side, arms and legs on the side where the head is turned should extend the opposite side should flex. Birth to 2 months. persistence may suggest cerebral palsy or asymmetric CNS issue

92
Q

Positive support reflex

A

hold the baby up and let legs extend and feet touch the table, kid should partially stand. birth or 2 months to 6 months. Lack of this= hypotonia, spasticity= neurologic disease or palsy

93
Q

Rooting reflex

A

Stroke perioral skin, mouth should open and baby will turn toward stimulus. absence may indicate general CNS issue

94
Q

hold baby prone and stoke one side of the back 1 cm from midline from shoulder to butt-spine should curve towards the stimulated side. Birth to 3/4 months. Absence may mean spinal cord injury

95
Q

Placing and stepping reflex

A

pretend walking reflex. variable age to disappear. absence may mean paralysis, also babies born breech may not have placing reflex.

96
Q

Landau reflex

A

hold baby prone with one hand. The head should lift up and spine will straighten. Persistence may indicate delayed development

97
