Developmental
Assessment and the School-Aged Child
The needs of the
pediatric patient differ depending on age, as do the stages of development and
the expected assessment findings for each stage. In a 500-750-word paper,
examine the needs of a school-aged child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old
and discuss the following:
- Compare the physical
assessments among school-aged children. Describe how you would modify
assessment techniques to match the age and developmental stage of the
child.
- Choose a child between the
ages of 5 and 12 years old. Identify the age of the child and describe the
typical developmental stages of children that age.
- Applying developmental theory
based on Erickson, Piaget, or Kohlberg, explain how you would
developmentally assess the child. Include how you would offer explanations
during the assessment, strategies you would use to gain cooperation, and
potential findings from the assessment.
