Health and Developmental History: Specific Visits
Questions for the Health History
A
health and developmental history should be obtained
from the child's parent or an adult familiar with the
child's history. The history can provide information
about health problems for which there are no standard
tests.
Using open-ended and developmentally-appropriate questions
helps providers to obtain more information and invite
discussion with the
family.
The pull-down menus below suggest age-specific questions on physical, developmental, and behavioral health, as well as topics including family, nutrition, and healthy and safe habits. The 5 - 20 year visits include questions for the child or teen in addition to those intended for the parent.
These questions are intended to be used selectively during health interviews.
From the broad lists of questions offered, providers should tailor each interview by selecting questions most appropriate to the needs and circumstances of the family, child, or teen.
This concludes the Health and Developmental History module. Move on to the next module, Physical Examination. |
