1.
a) Anthropometric = Assessment of body composition including
circumference, weight, height and skin fold measurements.
b) Clinical = Physical exam of the appearance including eyes, skin,
tongue, teeth. Blood pressure and physical mobility, as well.
c) You can use a growth chart to track growth and measure length (height)
and weight to compare the child against the standard. BMI can also be
used as a tool for children and adolescents.
a. Anthropometric
(this includes, height and weight, in the infant head
circumference and length, body mass index)
b. Clinical
(checking eyes, skin, hair, teeth, gait, coordination, a physical
review looking for any abnormal concerns, blood pressure)
c. To determine if each child is growing appropriately, name one
tool that you can use to compare the child with standard growth.
(Infant and child growth tables, BMI table for children)
Question 2 pts
After assessing the children, they all appear to be growing well, and you
see no concerns. However, as you review your findings with Tonya, she
has some questions. Her husband recently lost his job, and money is
tight. Tonya is thinking about switching Trey to cow’s milk rather than
formula to save money. She is also concerned because Dana is not eating
as well as she had previously. After obtaining further information you feel
that Dana is experiencing some common eating issues experienced by
preschoolers.
