Developmental Assessment Of School Age Child

The needs of the pediatric patient differ depending on age, as do the stages of development and the expected assessment findings for each stage. In a 1000-word paper, examine the needs of a school-aged child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old and discuss the following:

1. Compare the physical assessments among school-aged children. 2.Describe how you would modify assessment techniques to match the age and developmental stage of the child.
2. Choose a child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old. Identify the age of the child and describe the typical developmental stages of children that age.
3. Applying developmental theory based on Erickson, Piaget, or Kohlberg, explain how you would developmentally assess the child. Include how you would offer explanations during the assessment, strategies you would use to gain cooperation, and potential findings from the assessment.

The study was divided into two phases, administrative and clinical, using purposive and convenience samples, respectively. Data generation lasted a total of 7 months—4 months for the administrative phase and 3 months for the clinical phase. The process of data generation involved the following activities by the researcher: active involvement in the everyday activities of the hospital; documentation by field notes of experiences in administrative and clinical units; in-depth interviewing about the meaning of caring using an audiotape recorder with nurse and nonnurse administrators, nurse clinicians, physicians, patients, and allied health care personnel; participant observation of administrative and clinical caring interactions; and caregiving by the researcher to interact more closely with patients. Validity and reliability of the data were established through qualitative research principles of content, face, and concurrent validity, repeated observations, and constant comparative analysis.31,32 DATA ANALYSIS AND RESULTS The analytical process of the content was adapted from Spradley33 and Glaser and Strauss34 and involved the following: immersing the self in the transcribed and recorded data to compare, contrast, and describe the experiences of caring phenomena; looking for categories of caring by identifying and grouping like themes of the data; developing a classification system of caring categories
