The pediatric assessment, which begins with the head, seeks to encompass the entire body, and extends to the feet, is a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's health, cognitive development, and behavior with the goal of early detection of disorders and diseases. It is recommended to follow the steps of the history assessment, beginning with general observation, auscultation, and vital signs. Examination of the cranial nerves helps identify neurological dysfunction, while gait observation and assessment of limb mobility detect musculoskeletal or tone abnormalities. Chest auscultation is crucial for diagnosing respiratory or cardiac conditions, and abdominal palpation identifies masses or tenderness. Assessment of the chest, skin, and reflexes provides information about structural problems, infections, and neurological development. A complete medical history, including family and risk factors, improves diagnostic accuracy. Establishing trust with the child and their caregivers is vital for assessing psychosocial and language development.
