pediatric patients
Pediatric patients are children and adolescents who receive medical care. This group typically includes individuals from birth up to 18 years of age. Pediatric care focuses on the unique health needs of younger patients, addressing their physical, emotional, and developmental requirements.
Healthcare providers, such as pediatricians, specialize in diagnosing and treating illnesses in this age group. They also monitor growth and development, provide vaccinations, and offer guidance on nutrition and safety. Pediatric patients may require different approaches compared to adults due to their ongoing development and varying communication abilities.
