  1. Growth & Development

  2. Infant – Adolescent G&D • G&D begin with birth. As infants & children grow & mature, they pass through predictable stages of development. • Knowledge and assessment of G&D: • Help the nurse provide screening for physical and emotional problems • Offer anticipatory guidance to parents and caregivers • Develop a rapport with the child to enhance the provision of health care • Provide education to the family to build a healthy lifestyle for the future.

  3. Developmental Milestones • A method of evaluation has been developed using an interview technique in which parents are asked questions regarding milestones in achievements that most will remember. • The child's developmental quotient (DQ) can be determined according to the parents' answers. A DQ less than 70% signifies a delay requiring further evaluation.

  4. Birth-4 Weeks (1 Month) • Significant neurologic disorganization. • Strong Moro reflex. • Sleep cycle disorganized. • GI system too immature for solid foods.
