Week 4 Discussion: Pediatrics Nursing

#1) Name two expected outcomes to promote optimal infant growth and developmental needs.

#2) Pick two typical developmental milestones in the toddler and discuss them.

#3)What are a couple of ways that the nurse can promote the health of the preschooler and family?

#4) Make a list of nursing diagnoses and expected outcomes for the following clients:

A mother brings her son to a clinic for a checkup. She tells the nurse that she is concerned because her 4-year-old son is having trouble with his speech and is repeating words and syllables in his sentences.
Parents of a 3-year-old girl bring her to their pediatrician for a visit. They tell the nurse that they are concerned because their daughter will only allow her father to take care of her and wants to be near him all the time.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
