ATI Pediatrics (RN Pediatric NGN) tests child health nursing across developmental stages from neonates through adolescents. NurseQuizPrep specialists cover growth and development milestones, pediatric assessment, common childhood illnesses, and family-centered care.

Pediatric Assessment & Development

Growth and development milestones (Denver II), pediatric vital signs norms by age, pain assessment tools for children (FACES, FLACC, CRIES), and family-centered care principles.

• Erikson's developmental stages: trust, autonomy, initiative, industry, identity
• Pediatric normal vitals: heart rate and respiratory rate vary significantly by age
• FACES pain scale: for children ages 3 and older

Common Pediatric Conditions

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), asthma, cystic fibrosis, congenital heart defects, meningitis, epiglottitis, intussusception, pyloric stenosis, sickle cell disease, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and type 1 diabetes management in children.

• RSV: most dangerous in <2 months — positioning, humidified oxygen
• Asthma: spacer use, peak flow monitoring, steroid inhalers
• Sickle cell crisis: pain management, hydration, avoid cold
