Aquifer Case titled Pediatrics 02: Infant female well-child visits (2, 6, and 9 months).
Apply information from the Aquifer Case Study to answer the following questions:
Discuss the history that you would take on this child in preparation for the well-child visit. Include questions regarding her growth and development that are appropriate for her age.
Describe the developmental tool to be used for Asia, its reliability and validity and how Asia scored developmentally on this tool. Is she developmentally appropriate for her age?
What immunizations will Asia be given at this visit; what is the patient education and follow-up?

Knowledge
Components of a Well-child Visit
Interval History
If this is the first visit, obtain a detailed birth history.
Ask if there have been any illnesses or problems since the previous visit.
Using the available medical records, review any visit notes, hospitalizations, lab results, and radiology reports since the last
visit. Ask about persistence or resolution of any previously identified medical issues.
Ask if there are any new concerns today.
Development
Developmental surveillance is recommended at every well-child visit when a validated developmental screening tool is not
used.
Developmental surveillance may include eliciting parental concerns about development, reviewing a developmental history
if available, direct observation of the child and identification of risk factors for developmental delays.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends developmental screening with a validated tool at the 9-month, 18-
month, and 30-month visits.
One of several validated developmental screening tools may be used (e.g., the Parents’ Evaluation of —-
Developmental Status [PEDS], or Ages and Stages Questionnaire [ASQ].
Specific screening for autism spectrum disorder is recommended at the 18-month and 24-month visits.
Growth
Growth is best assessed using a standard growth chart and analyzing the growth trends for weight, height and head
circumference (in younger children) over time.
Diet History
