Good morning teacher and classmates.

Pediatric evaluation requires a comprehensive and age-appropriate approach. A detailed prenatal, perinatal, and developmental history is crucial for identifying risk factors. Growth and development assessments (weight, height, head circumference) must be plotted on standardized growth charts. Vaccination status should be reviewed to ensure immunization compliance. A thorough physical examination includes head-to-toe assessment, focusing on age-specific milestones and vital signs. Behavioral and psychosocial development should be evaluated using tools like the Denver Developmental Screening Test. Nutritional status and dietary habits must be considered. Parental concerns should be addressed with empathy and clarity. Recognizing signs of neglect or abuse is essential. Finally, evaluations must be adapted to the child’s age and communication level for accuracy and comfort.
