The needs of the pediatric patient differ depending on age, as do the   stages of development and the expected assessment findings for each   stage. In a 500-750-word paper, examine the needs of a school-aged   child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old and discuss the following:

1. Compare the physical assessments among school-aged children.     Describe how you would modify assessment techniques to match the age     and developmental stage of the child.
2. Choose a child     between the ages of 5 and 12 years old. Identify the age of the     child and describe the typical developmental stages of children that   age.
3. Applying developmental theory based on Erickson, Piaget,     or Kohlberg, explain how you would developmentally assess the child.     Include how you would offer explanations during the assessment,     strategies you would use to gain cooperation, and potential findings     from the assessment.
