The parents have no specific concerns and state the child is active and meeting expected motor milestones. According to current evidence-based guidelines, which health screening must the nurse ensure is completed during this specific visit?

  2. B
    Measurement of blood pressure using an appropriately sized pediatric cuff
  3. C
    Assessment of visual acuity using an objective symbol or picture chart
  4. D
    Completion of the Adam's forward bend test for secondary prevention

Cevap

The correct answer is the administration of a standardized autism spectrum disorder screening tool.
The correct answer identifies that standard pediatric guidelines mandate universal screening for autism spectrum disorder at the 18-month and 24-month well-child visits using a standardized tool, which allows for crucial early intervention.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the client's age and the purpose of the clinical encounter.
The client is an 18-month-old toddler presenting for a routine well-child assessment.
Pediatric health screening guidelines are strictly tied to specific chronological ages and developmental milestones.
2
Recall national screening guidelines specific to the 18-month milestone.
Guidelines mandate a standardized autism spectrum disorder screening (e.g., M-CHAT) at the 18-month and 24-month marks.
Early identification and early intervention for developmental disorders significantly improve long-term cognitive and behavioral outcomes.
3
Evaluate the distractor options against the client's developmental stage.
Blood pressure and objective visual acuity testing begin at age 3; scoliosis screening occurs during preadolescence.
Selecting age-appropriate assessments prevents unnecessary testing and ensures clinical time focuses on highly recommended, age-specific screenings.
