Synopsis:
Advanced Pediatric Assessment provides in-depth treatment of the physical and psychosocial assessment of children, birth through adolescence. Emphasis is on the developmental and cultural aspects of child assessment. The book will serve as a primary pediatric health assessment course textbook for advanced practice students, and as a reference for practicing nurse practitioners and physicians' assistants. The text approaches the health assessment of the pediatric client by using both physical and psychosocial development as a guiding thread and, systematically, using body systems as a framework. Each section is preceded by a discussion of relevant developmental variations to taking a pediatric health history and performing the physical examination.
