Wait 4 weeks between live vaccines; don’t give 2 live vaccines at same time because immune
system will be down before going up
Mild illness at last vaccine is fine; and okay to vaccinate
Immunoglobulins- IgG – Stays the longest; had it and now Gone (needs to ensure it goes up to
ensure protection) IgM- immediate; have now

Four principles of child development
1. child development proceeds along a predictable pathway
2 the range of normal development is wide
3 various physical, social, and environmental factors, as well as diseases, can affect child
development and health
4 the child's developmental level affects how you conduct the history and physical
examination Key components of pediatric health promotion
1. age appropriate developmental achievement of the child
❖ physical such as maturation growth and puberty
❖ Motor such as gross and fine motor skills
❖ Cognitive such as developmental milestones, language, school performance
❖ Emotional such as self regulation, mood, temperament, self efficiency, self
esteem, independence
❖ Social such as social competence, self responsibility, integration with family and
community, peer interactions
2 . health supervision visits
❖ Periodic assessment of clinical and oral health next time more frequent health
supervision visits for children with special health care needs
3. integration of physical examination findings with health promotion
4 immunizations
5. Screening procedures

➢ Sexual development and sexuality
➢ Self responsibility, efficiency, and healthy self esteem

➢ Ears and mouth
➢ Hips
➢ Abdomen and Gu system
➢ Lower extremities, back
➢ Eyes , whenever they are spontaneously open or at the end of the examination
➢ Skin, as you go along
➢ Urological system
Apgar score
❖ Five components that classify the newborns neurological recovery from stress of birth an
immediate adaptation to extrauterine life
❖ Score each newborn at one in five minutes after birth
❖ Scoring is based on a 3 point scale, (0, 1 , or 2)
