We have important points to highlight about the pediatric assessment we observed in the video:

  • Hand Hygiene: Always begin by washing hands to ensure cleanliness.
  • Vital Signs: Check vital signs appropriate for the child's age, including heart rate and respiration.
  • Vision and Hearing: Use charts to test vision (aiming for 20/20) and conduct hearing tests with specific sounds.
  • Physical Examination: Assess the child's head, ears, eyes, and throat, observing for any abnormalities, and confirming normal function.
  • Coordination and Strength: Evaluate muscle strength and coordination through interactive activities, such as hand squeezing and arm-wrestling.
  • Respiratory Assessment: Listen to lung sounds while the child takes deep breaths to ensure normal respiratory function.
  • Cardiac Evaluation: Assess the heart rate and rhythm by auscultating the heart, ensuring it is regular and within normal limits.
  • Abdominal Check: Palpate the abdomen, listening to bowel sounds to confirm normal digestion and no discomfort.
  • Limbs Assessment: Check reflexes and circulation in the arms and legs, ensuring normal motion and response times.
  • Patient Engagement: Maintain a friendly interaction to make the assessment comfortable for the child, ensuring cooperation throughout the process.
