Answer to Question 1

A
Statistical information, client profile, health history, family history, review of systems, and lifestyle and life patterns are included in a complete pediatric history. Vital signs, chief complaint, and list of previous problems do not constitute a complete history. A problem-oriented history includes specific information about the chief complaint. Pertinent developmental and family information are part of the complete history.

Answer to Question 2

A
Physical assessment usually proceeds from head to toe; however, developmental considerations with infants and toddlers dictate that the least threatening assessments be done first to obtain accurate data. Having parents in the examining room with adolescents is not appropriate. Head circumference is routinely measured until 36 months of age. Children will not always be cooperative during the physical examination. The examiner will need to incorporate communication and play techniques to facilitate cooperation.
