The Denver II Developmental Screening - 1232 Words

I completed the Denver II Developmental Screening on a five year old boy, initials B. F. The Denver II Developmental Screening test is designed to compare children’s performance on a selection of tasks in order to assess developmental problems and risk of developing these problems in the future. Nurses must be able to perform developmental screenings in order to identify factors that could hinder optimal health (Gaines, 2005, p. 522). Gaines, Jenkins Ash (2005) recommend that health screening activities be integrated into nursing education to empower future nurses to provide health promotion services. The screening was conducted at the child’s home, which was beautiful and well-kept with a vast selection of games and books. He lives with his parents, older brother and grandparents in his grandparent’s home. This is a temporary living situation until the family moves overseas in the next year for work. The child was alert, well groomed and appropriately dressed in jeans and a t-shirt with a pleasant affect. He was not fearful and had an attention span appropriate of a five year old. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2014) a five year old should seek to please others and is likely to agree with the rules. B. F was eager to participate and promptly followed all directions which showed he was socially appropriate for a five year old. He appeared healthy and at an appropriate height and weight for his age. At age five, a child should be able to dressShow MoreRelatedAssessments Early years1327 Words   |  6 Pagescoordination BNAS: What the Test Measures Based on the premise that when infants are born they face four developmental tasks vital to their growth.
