Pediatric assessment is a systematic process used to evaluate the health and development of children. It involves gathering information about the child's medical history, physical examination, and developmental milestones. Healthcare professionals, such as pediatricians and nurses, use various tools and techniques to assess a child's growth, behavior, and overall well-being. During the assessment, specific areas are examined, including vital signs, nutrition, and social interactions. The goal is to identify any potential health issues early on and ensure that the child is meeting age-appropriate developmental standards. This process helps in planning appropriate interventions and support for the child's health needs.
