Pediatric/Adolescent Assessment Tools: Denver II test: at his age, the results were normal. The Denver Developmental Screening Test II (DENVER II) is commonly used in clinical practice extensively, as it is easy to learn to implement and score and provides a structured approach in developmental assessment screening for children between 0 to 6 years old. The test is a very important tool in identifying children with developmental delay as per their age requirement (Sabanathan, Wills, & Gladstone, 2015).
Present Developmental: D.C belongs to the preschool stage of development for children between 3 to 5 years. The child is still learning the aspect of independence such as dressing by himself and walking on his own. He seems to be more assertive and takes more initiatives but is sometimes guilty as a result of being too forceful at times, just as Erikson described the basic conflict of this stage as “initiative vs. guilt” (Jones, & Russell-Fisher, 2018)

Hand and Finger skills: able to use age-appropriate scissors and draw several shapes.

Language: can answer simple questions and even say his name and age

Lab and/or Diagnostic Tests:
The physician uses several milestones of development to determine whether the child’s development is appropriate with his age (In McInerny, & American Academy of Pediatrics, 2017).

DIAGNOSIS

Final/Primary Diagnosis (es): Normal and healthy
PLAN:
• Return to the clinic after one year for a five-year-old well-child examination and immunization.
• Vaccines administered this visit: none
• vaccine administration forms given: none
• Medication: none
• Laboratory tests ordered: none
• Diagnostic tests ordered: none
• Non-pharmaceutical treatments: none
• Patient/Family education and Anticipatory guidance for the next well-child visit (van et al., 2015):
 Communication and Language Skills: strings four or more words together to construct a sentence.
 Movement and Physical Development: try to walk upstairs and downstairs with alternating feet. Try to catch a ball with both arms fully outstretched.
 Social and Emotional Development: give the name of one or two of your friends. Name a game liked by your friend.
 Cognitive Skills: knowing your first and last name, and your age. Take part in pretend play.
• When to Talk to see a Doctor: all children develop at their own pace, but there is a standard way in which children of a given age group are expected to grow. Report to the doctor in case your child (In McInerny, & American Academy of Pediatrics, 2017):
 Is unable to speak or construct a full sentence.
 has severe anxiety or depression
 is unable to make strokes with a pencil or crayon
 Additionally, if you notice that your child has lost some of the skills that he once had or shows weakness on one body side, inform your physician (In Hagan, In Shaw, & In Duncan, 2017).
Self-Evaluation of Interaction with patient/family during clinic visit: I am quite satisfied with the job I did in collecting both subjective and objective data for my first well-child visit for immunization update. Despite my strengths in understanding the stages of development and the different milestone, I still find it a weakness to be able to relate quite appropriately with the child to understand them even much better. I believe that with more encounters of the same, I will be able to carry out examination and assessment of pediatric patients more efficiently.

Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.

Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?

Important information for writing discussion questions and participation

Welcome to class

Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to

I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.

Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.

If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.

Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.

Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.

I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!
