| Growth chart outliers | >95th % or <5th%- what could be a reason for this? |
| Denver | Standardized screening tool- Designed to be used on well children between 1month & 6 years of age- done by professional- assesses performance |
| 4 categories of Denver II | Personal-Social: getting along w/peopleFine Motor-Adaptive: eye-hand coordination, manipulation & problem-solving, Language: hearing, understanding, & language, Gross Motor: sitting, walking, jumping |
| Term | 38-41 weeks |
| Brain growth continues until | 12 to 15 years of age |
| The patellar tendon reflexes are | present at birth, and the Achilles and brachioradial tendon reflexes appear at 6 months of age |
| Suck reflex begins at | 32nd week of prego so premature can be a problem |
| Moro reflex | startle reflex because it usually occurs when a baby is startled by a loud sound or movement- gone by 4-6 months |
| Tonic neck reflex | head is turned to one side, the arm on that side stretches out and the opposite arm bends up at the elbow- "fencing" position till 4-6 months- cannot roll over if it doesn’t go away. |

| Meningitis | high pitch cry b/c neck rigidity is hard to assess—maybe fever, not eating |
| 2 months | Gross motor – lifts head , Fine motor/adaptive – follow past midline, Language – vocalize / laugh, Social-emotional – smile |
| 6 months | Gross motor – roll over, Fine motor – reach, Language – turn to sound of rattle, Social – work of toy out of reach, feed self |
| 9 months | Gross motor – pull to stand – stand holding on , Fine motor – transfer objects between hands, Language – single syllables – mama / dada, Social-emotional – wave bye bye |
| 18 months | Gross motor – walk backwards, run, Fine motor – scribble, Language – uses at least 3 words, Social – helps in house |
| 2 years | Gross motor – walk up & down stairs (gate), Fine motor/adaptive – tower of 4 cubes , Cognitive, language – combined words, point to 2 pictures, Social – remove clothes |
| 3 years old | Gross motor – rides a tricycle, Fine motor – tower of 8 blocks, Cognitive / language –name 6 body parts, Social – name a friend |
| Cerebral palsy | anoxia? Prolonged labor, stay in the NICU- Permanent d/o of movement and posture development |
| Cephalohematoma | collection of blood in the head so check Hb |
| Lymph Nodes of concern | Supra-clavicular nodes are a concern at any age- |
| Normal lymph node finding | small, firm, discrete, movable nodes with no warmth, tenderness, non-matted, non-erythematous located in (cervical/inguinal areas in child)… |
| Vision development depends on | nervous system maturation and occurs over time. |
| Term infants vision | hyperopic [20/400] |
| Peripheral vision fully developed | at birth |
| Central vision develops | later |
| By 6 months of age, binocular vision development | is complete and the infant can differentiate colors. |
| Red light reflex | retinoblastoma for lack of reflex/blindness |
| Full vision at what age | 4 |
| Strabismus / pseudo strabismus | inward deviation of eye vs flat bridge and optical illusion but light reflex will be equal so it’s pseudo- do Hirschberg test – corneal light reflex |
| Lacrimal duct | clogs up- clean b/c it starts to drain |
| Absence of fix and follow by 3-4 months of age | eyes red flag- refer |
| Unresolved strabismus by 3 months of age | red flag- refer |
| More than 20/40 in a 5 year old | red flag- refer |
| Retinoblastoma | Malignant tumor arising from retina |
| Retinopathy of prematurity | Disruption of normal progression of retinal vascular development in preterm infant |
| Retinal hemorrhages in infancy | Occurs in infant victims of shaken-baby syndrome |
| Ears, Eustachian tubes are | shorter, more horizontal than adults- Position – superior portion of the auricle should line up with the outer canthus of eye |
| What can cause hearing issues | hyperbilirubinemia in the hx |
| Test hearing by age? | 4 but 1st hearing test is in the hospital and by 3 months make sure infant can hear |
| T.M- tympanic membrane | INTACT ? COLOR, MOBILITY, FLUID, BLOOD |
| Tag in front of the ear | renal issue- how many diapers a day? |
| Otoscope with insufflator | – provides puff of air to assess if TM is mobile- means it flutters and not sticky against fluid and puss (effusion, or resolving)- no need for anbx |
| Drooling is normal at what age | 6 months- when teeth come in- not appropriate at 2 months when they cannot swallow |
| Epstein’s Pearls in the back of the mouth are | normal- go away in a few days |
| Well child care | height weight, eating habits, 24h recall |
| Cleft lip make sure you take extra care with assessment of | lungs for aspiration |
| Recommend weaning from bottle by | 12 months to avoid dental decay |
| 1st dental appointment by | 6 months- 1st tooth |
| Chest/respiratory | percussion less reliable, chest circumference 2 to 3 cm smaller than head, RR 40- 60 per minute, Coughing and hiccups are rare; sneezing is frequent |
| Periodic breathing | a sequence of relatively vigorous respiratory efforts followed by apnea of as long as 10 to 15 seconds, is common. |
| Oxygen during an anoxic event is a potent | vasoconstrictor- closes ducts |
| Child’s chest is thinner and ordinarily more | resonant than the adult’s chest- Listen out laterally – under the axilla in an effort to isolate the right and left lungs and RML |
| Breath sounds | More resonant, Hyperresonance common, Easy to miss dullness, Bronchovesicular sounds may predominate. |

| Systolic ejection murmurs | heard best at the LLSB, vibratory or musical quality. grade 2 or 3, short in duration, well located, Usually begin age 3-4, disappear approx 7 years of age |
| Venous hum | common and has no pathologic significance- Caused by the turbulence of blood flow in the internal jugular veins |
| HTN most often caused by | kidney disease, renal disease, coarctation or pheochromocytoma. |
| Atrial septal defect | Congenital defect in the septum dividing the left and right atria |
| Acute rheumatic fever | Systemic connective tissue disease occurring after streptococcal pharyngitis or skin infection |
| Kawasaki disease | Condition causing inflammation in walls of small and medium-sized arteries throughout the body, including coronary arteries |
| Hepatomegaly is a red flag because | - right sided heart failure- fluids |
| Diastasis recti is caused by a | relative weakness of the fascia between the two rectus abdominus muscles. It is not a herniation and is not pathologic. Resolves over time |
| Umbilical cord usually detaches by | 10th day but can take up to 3 weeks…once detached stump should remain dry & heal within a few days |
| Umbilical cord Drainage | (serous with umbilical granulomas—prolonged drainage may need cauterization or may be cyst)-Infection (purulent, erythemic, swollen, malodorous…REFER IMMEDIATELY for aggressive treatment! |
| Omphalitis | –serious infection- infection around umbilical cord |
| Palpation of the abdomen | THE MOST IMPORTANT TECHNIQUE, assess last, Infant pain scale & FACES, Lesions, Masses, Organomegaly, infant/toddler=detectable liver tip common <3 cm; Spleen tip may be felt in 5-10%, DO NOT do deep |
| Necrotizing enterocolitis | Inflammatory disease of GI mucosa associated with prematurity and immaturity of GI tract |
| Meconium ileus | Distal intestinal obstruction caused by thick impacted meconium in the lower intestine |
| Adduct to dislocate | Barlow (in) |
| Abduct | to reduce = ortalani (out) |
| Barlow-Ortolani maneuver to detect | hip dislocation or subluxation- performed each time you examine the infant during the first year of life. |
| Bowlegs | (genu varum) –normal in toddlers but pat a certain measurement you want to refer to ortho |
| Knock-knees | (genu valgum) |
| Seborrheic dermatitis | within the first 3 months of life. |
| Miliaria (prickly heat) | Caused by sweat retention from occlusion of sweat ducts during periods of heat and high humidity. Clear fluid filled pimples |
| Impetigo | Common, contagious superficial bacterial skin infection- Honey crusted lesions |
