measurement of change in size, length, or mass
2. continuous but uneven process
physical growth is an indicator of Correct Answer--general health and
nutrition
-shows deviation from growth curve that need further investigation
development is Correct Answer-qualitative
-increase in capacity to function
-includes development of new skills the child increasingly respond to
environment
,types of growth measurements Correct Answer--length (infancy) or
height (older children)
-weight (Kg n Lbs)
-head circumference (cm or inches)
when do infants re-attain birth weight Correct Answer-14 days
head circumference (HC) reflects Correct Answer-growth and
differentiation of nervous system
how much does an infanta head growth per month Correct Answer-2
cms till around age 3 months
from ages 4-6 m, how much does the HC grow per month Correct
Answer-1 cm
from ages 6-12 m, how much does the HC grow per month Correct
Answer-0.5 cm
when does the posterior fontanel close Correct Answer-2 m
when is the anterior fontanel not palpable Correct Answer-after 18 m
with premies what is different about their head Correct Answer-their
heads can be different shapes and sizes
,physical differences in children Correct Answer--smaller body
-sutures not fused
-immature motor development = no control over voluntary movement
(infancy reflexes)
-eustachian tubes are shorter and straighter=more sensitive to sound
-heart grows slowly
-larynx/trachea very soft
-urethra is short=UTIs
-kidney cannot concentrate urine
-skin is half as thick as adults
-blood values are different
-The digestive tract is immature at birth n grows through adolescence
-mental and emotional differences
physical development occurs in what fashion Correct Answer-head to
toe, center to periphery
-movement moves from reflexes to gross motor to fine motor
physical development 1 m Correct Answer--turn head when prone; lifts
head momentarily, cant hold head, head lag

-Doll's eye reflex and dance reflex fading
-Obligatory nose breathing (most infants)
—sensorimotor =stage I, use of reflexes
physical development 2 m Correct Answer--Can maintain head in same
plane as rest of body
-Posterior fontanel closed
-Crawling reflex disappears
- follows dangling toy from side to point beyond midline
-Visually searches to locate sounds
-Turns head to side when sound is made at level of ear
• Vocalizes, coos, recognizes voice, cried differeniated
-Demonstrates social smile in response to various stimuli
physical development 3m Correct Answer--Primitive reflexes fading
-Able to hold head more erect when sitting
- Actively holds rattle but will not reach for it
-no Grasp reflex , Hands kept loosely open
• Follows objects to the periphery
• Locates sound
