Predictable development
age specific milestones
A ___________ or a milestone is always concerning

different
Development is impacted by

H&P ________ depending on the developmental stage of the child
varies
Pediatric health supervision visits are also known as
well child check (WCC)
Goals of pediatric visit
disease of detection
disease preventions
health promotion
anticipatory guidance
Components of pediatric visits
interval history
surveillance of development
review of symptoms
observation of parent/child interaction
physical exam screening, including measurement of growth
screening (universal and risk assessment)
immunizations
anticipatory guidelines
Surveillance vs. screening
surveillance is ongoing
developmental screening is a formal process
Developmental surveillance
ongoing process
done at every visit
parental history
skilled, experienced observation
Developmental screening
formal process
uses a standardized tool
universal screening at specified ages
selective screening when risk assessment raises a concern
HPI for an acute pediatric problem
content is very similar to an adult- determine what is age appropriate
Differences in pediatric vs. adult
getting a history from a parent
Need to get both child’s parents perspectives (especially as child ages)
Note parent-child interaction
Parental emotions and behaviors
HPI for well child visit
