Summary: "Pediatric healthcare experts agree that the health care needs of children are vastly different from those of adults. From infancy through adolescence, a child experiences many dramatic anatomical, physiologic, psychosocial, developmental, and cognitive changes. Thus, it is critical for the pediatric health care provider to possess specialized knowledge and skills to accurately assess children during health and illness. Concepts related to the health assessment and physical examination of adults cannot be universally applied to the care of children; children are not simply little adults"-- Provided by publisher.
