Growth and Development
1. What is the stage of development that your patient is in? (ex. newborn, infant, toddler, etc.) Adolescent
2. According to Piaget and Erickson, what developmental stage is expected for their age range?
Piaget: Formal Operational
Erickson: Identity vs. Role Confusion
3. What developmental milestones should your patient have achieved by this point?
a. Gross Motor: Begins to develop endurance. Increases speed accuracy, and coordination. Develops the necessary skills for an identified
interest (Ward, Hisley, Kennedy, Ward, & Hisley, 2016, p. 781).

b. Fine Motor: Manipulates complicated objects. High skill level playing video games and using computers. Good finger dexterity for
writing and other intricate tasks. Precise hand-eye coordination(Ward, Hisley, Kennedy, Ward, & Hisley, 2016, p. 781).
c. Language: Continues to develop and refine with increased vocabulary up to 50,000 words. Improved communication skills; converses
with increasing abstract thought and analysis (Ward, Hisley, Kennedy, Ward, & Hisley, 2016, p. 781).
d. Social: Cooperative play continues within peer group, team sports, school or community activities, and dating; enjoys solitary time
(Ward, Hisley, Kennedy, Ward, & Hisley, 2016, p. 781).

4. What does your book say regarding the childs potential reaction to hospitalization and procedures for their age?
The childs developmental task has a large impact on how a child reacts to the hospital. During Identity vs Role Confusion, the child may be
concerned about body image, separation from peers, loss of independence, and decreased socialization. The nurse should encourage visits
from peers, explain all treatment and procedures, allow the teen to ask questions, and respect privacy (Ward, Hisley, Kennedy, Ward, &
Hisley, 2016, p. 817).
5. Which of these behavioral reactions did you observe in your patient? Provide examples:
Due to my patients history of chronic illness, she no longer presented with the typical behavioral reactions. Online school and chat groups
diminished the separation from peers and the decreased socialization. Her body image was an area of concern for her as she had not yet hit
puberty and was concerned about physical maturation. A.A. stated that she was not affected by the loss of independence often seen in this
age group because she was active in her healthcare decisions.
Cedar Crest College Clinical and Concept Map Worksheet for Nursing 330 Pediatrics
6. Summary: How did your patient compare with the textbooks description of milestones, and Ericksons and Piagets theories of
development? Provide examples:
My patient directly matched with both Eriksons and Piagets theories of development. As previously mentioned, she was concerned
with most the items mentioned in Eriksons theory. Those that werent mentioned were already overcome due to technological advances or
her chronic condition. A.A. also met Piagets developmental milestones by being able to analysis and interpret both sides of a debate and
using systemic planning.
7. Based on your knowledge of growth and development for this patients age, how did you adjust your approach when assessing this
child and providing care? Provide examples:
My patient had many chronic conditions that inhibited physical growth; in addition, she had not reached puberty leaving the patient
feeling under-developed and weak. I encouraged small, frequent meals that were high calorie/protein to increase nutritional development. As
her caregiver, I maintained privacy and asked permission to begin treatments. Because of her cognitive maturity, I allowed her to ask
questions freely while I answered honestly using understandable language.
