1) The best strategy for assessing a 2-year-old child is to:
a. touch the head first
b. remove the child's clothing.
c. have the parent hold the child.
d. have the child examined by an EMR of the same gender. - Answer✔️✔️-C:
Toddlers, or children one to three years of age, should be examined in a head-to-toe
manner, as touching the head first may frighten the child. Toddlers do not wish to
be separated from their parents; thus, the child should be held by a parent during
the examination. Because toddlers dislike having clothing removed, only one
article of clothing should be removed at a time and replaced immediately after
examination. It is not necessary for the EMR to be the same gender as the child;
however, in the case of an adolescent, the physical examination should be
conducted by an EMR of the same gender.
