In a 500-750-word paper examine the needs of a school-aged 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 500-750-word paper examine the needs of a school-aged child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old and discuss the following:

  1. Describe the different physical characteristics/findings within the school-aged child. Explain how you would modify assessment techniques to match the age and developmental stage of this 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.

You are required to cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years, appropriate for the assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing practice.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Expert Answer and Explanation

Developmental Assessment and the School Aged Child

Among the common health needs of school going children is the emotional and social well-being. School-aged children are roughly between 4 years for those going to kindergarten, to 11 years (Kim, 2019). During their physical assessment, the elements that are examined in them include their emotions, their social skills, their academic performance, and their physical health.

Since it is not possible to interview them about some of the sensitive or detailed aspects of their health such as their allergies, assessing their past health history is always a solution to providing physical assessments of this population (Kim, 2019). Also, the needs of children tend to differ with age. This essay entails a close assessment of a 6 year old child, assessing their development using Erickson’s development theory.

Comparison of Physical Assessment and How to Modify Assessment Techniques to Match Age

In the examination of a child, there is need for the presence of a guardian who would be used to give some of the health information. That is, the interview would be partly directed to the guardian and partly to the child. Among some of the assessments include whether or not the child has had past surgeries, whether the child has ongoing illnesses or whether they have existing illnesses.

If the child has existing health conditions, the assessment would check the nature of these conditions, whether they are acute or chronic, and also assess the kind of medications that the child is taking. In some of the cases of illnesses, children are exposed to drugs that have numerous side effects that deteriorate the already failing state of the child. Also, the assessment would check some of the family characteristics that would prompt the child to be more exposed to disease.

For example, it would be prudent to check whether there are some family members who are smokers, as this is a habit that potentially affects the child. Also, in the assessment, the examiner would ask whether or not there has been recent loss of a loved one in the family, as this is another element that would affect the psychological well-being of the family. Assessing the type of friends that the child has could also be a plus in the assessment, to see whether or not the child is a victim of negative social behaviors such as bullying.

Describe the effect of extremely low birth

Developmental Stages at Six Years

Six-Year old children have a large growth in their cognitive selves, and they are also socially active. The child also has emotions that pull them to be attracted to the friends who seem to be having ‘fun’ or enjoying life. Thrane et al. (2016) explains that the age of six also entails the presence of children who generally abide by the rules, and do not show resistance.

Most importantly, these children are more attached to their guardians, and they tend to trust them more than any other individuals they come across. For those who have attended one school for a long period of time, they also develop a strong sense of respect for their teachers, such that they have to consult them before they do anything.

Speech-wise, a child at six years speaks clearly, and can tell stories using few complete sentences unlike one or two years earlier where they used phrases and words to communicate (Singh et al., 2016). The problem-solving skills as well as the motor capacity improve greatly at six years. They become more aware of the environment and can distinguish dangerous animals from those that are harmless. When asked to jump on one foot, children at six can do it for more than ten seconds. They also tend to run around while playing.

Assessment of the Child using Erickson’s Developmental Stages

How I would Developmentally Assess the Child

Eric Erickson’s theory of development explains that children encounter distinct developmental stages from birth to maturity or to the age of independence. For a six-year old, they are in the initiative vs. guilt stage, in which they would at least initiate some of the responsibilities in simple things such as games (Cherry, 2018). Therefore, the best technique of assessing the child at this stage is giving them simple roles and testing their delivery.

Strategies to Gain Cooperation in the Assessment

            Promising rewards is the surest way of gaining cooperation in the child. While some individuals may view it as a negative technique of ‘bribing’ the child, it would help them be more assertive in performing the different assessment roles (Singh et al., 2016). Another strategy to promote cooperation in the child is using punishment or threats of punishment for the non-cooperating children. Lastly, engagement of the children in enjoyable games would help to achieve maximum cooperation.

Potential Findings

It is likely that the child shows the state of being fairly healthy after assessment, as at this age, children are yet to interact with the negative environmental factors. Another potential finding is that the child could be having a smoking father, and hence having potential complications of the lungs.

Conclusion

The assessment of pediatric patients is most successful when done in the presence of their guardians. Using Erickson’s stages of development could help gauge the level of development of the child, and hence identify the presence of any abnormalities. Among some of the best techniques to assess the child would be to assess for past illness, interview them regarding the nature of their friends, and also perform physical examinations. To gain maximum cooperation, one can use enjoyable games or other strategies such as promising some rewards.
