PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT IN CHILDREN: PERFORMING

Course overview

In children, screening head-to-toe assessments are often performed more frequently than in adults due to the need to closely monitor the child’s rapid physical growth and cognitive development, and to identify potential developmental problems. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of how to perform the head-to-toe physical assessment in children. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
