paediatric assignment
Derby Dudley is an 18 month old who has been brought to the local health clinic by her parents. You are the nurse who is performing her initial assessment.
Critically reflect on the cognitive and developmental issues that can impact on Derby?s physical examination and discuss strategies which you could implement to ensure your assessment is comprehensive.
Your reflection and discussion must be supported by current literature and evidence. You are expected to consider in your essay the cognitive and developmental issues and not the actual assessment process.
