general growth and development milestones
physical, fine motor, gross motor, sensory
general pattern of physical growth
cephalocaudal, proximodistal, simple to complex
developmental screening assessments
Denver II, PDQ II, ASQ, infant language, infant inventory
Denver II
general brief assessment, determines need for further testing
weight trends for infants 1st year of life
birth weight double @ 6 mo & triple @ 12 mo
when assessing a premature infant go by
adjusted age; chronological - weeks early
infant neurological development assessment findings
head circumference: brain growth, anterior fontanelle open until 12-18 months, primitive reflexes: disappear first few months –> protective reflexes
infant respiratory development assessment findings
resp rate from 30-60 @birth –> 20-30 @12 mo, irregular breaths/periodic pauses @birth, not fully mature until 7
infant cardiovascular development assessment findings
heart doubles in size by first year, pulse 120-140 –> 100 @12 mo, BP 60/40 –> 100/50 @12 mo, thermoregulation better by 1 year
infant gastrointestinal development assessment findings
tooth eruption ~6 mo, saliva ~3 mo, 0.5-1 oz stomach capacity @birth, meconium stool
infant genitourinary assessment findings
high body water; risk of dehydration, frequent urination, low specific gravity urine
infant integumentary system assessment findings
fine downy hair; lanugo, newborn acrocyanosis; hands and feet & gone after a few days
infant hematopoietic assessment findings
iron from mom; depleted b7 ~6-9 mo unless supplemented
infant immunologic assessment findings
IgG from mother; helps for 3-6 months
concerning infant assessment findings (4)
lack of head circumference growth, premature fontanel closure, persistent premature reflexes or regression, central cyanosis; mouth, head, torso
infant psychosocial/Erikson development
basic needs met, tolerance for frustration increases; trusts gratification will be provided
