Describe how you would modify assessment techniques to match the age and developmental stage of the child.

Assigment Descrition:

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:
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.
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.
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.
You
are required to cite a minimum of four peer-reviewed sources to
complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5
years, appropriate for the assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing
