Disease of Infancy and Childhood 1 Congenital Anomalies Flashcards
what are the four time spans of development and different disorders?
Each stage of development of the infant and child is prey to a somewhat different group of disorders. The data available permit a survey of four time spans: (1) the neonatal period (the first 4 weeks of life), (2) infancy (the first year of life), (3) age 1 to 4 years, and (4) age 5 to 14 years.
