Take into consideration factors such as the pace at which students learn, the size of the class, breaks, and classroom activities. The actual time devoted to teaching objectives is the responsibility of the instructor.1Setting the StageOverview of Lesson TopicsLife span developmentNeonates and infantsToddlersPreschool-ageSchool-ageAdolescenceEarly, middle, and late adulthood

Prehospital Emergency Care, 10th editionMistovich | KarrenCopyright 2014, 2010, 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights ReservedIntroductionDuring this lesson, students will learn about the stages of life span development and how to apply this knowledge to emergency care.

Case StudyPresent the Case Study Introduction provided in the PowerPoint slide set.Lead a discussion using the case study questions provided.The Case Study with discussion questions continues throughout the PowerPoint presentation.

2IntroductionPeople change physically and psychosocially throughout their lifetimes.EMTs must be able to incorporate knowledge of each stage into patient assessment and management.

Prehospital Emergency Care, 10th editionMistovich | KarrenCopyright 2014, 2010, 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights ReservedThe life span is divided into infancy, toddler, preschool-age, school-age, adolescence, and early, middle, and late adulthood.3Table 9-1 Normal Vital Signs Throughout a Life Span

Prehospital Emergency Care, 10th editionMistovich | KarrenCopyright 2014, 2010, 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights ReservedAs noted on this slide, vital signs change throughout the life span.4Neonates and InfantsNewborn first few minutes of lifeNeonate birth to 28 days (1 month) of age.Infant 28 days (1 month) to 1 year of age.

During this period, a child undergoes rapid growth and development.continued on next slide

Prehospital Emergency Care, 10th editionMistovich | KarrenCopyright 2014, 2010, 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights ReservedThe term newborn refers to the related to the first few minutes of life. The term neonate refers to birth to 28 days of life. The term infant is used from 28 days to 1 year of age. During this time, the child undergoes rapid growth and development. 5Newborn/Neonate

Prehospital Emergency Care, 10th editionMistovich | KarrenCopyright 2014, 2010, 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights ReservedPoints to Emphasize: Infancy is a time of enormous growth and development. Significant changes occur in the first year of life. Compared to adults, infants rely more upon their noses and diaphragms when they breathe.

10Neonates and InfantsPhysiological developmentPrimarily nose breathers until 4 weeks of ageAirways are easily obstructed.There are fewer alveoli and lung tissue is fragile.The chest wall is soft with weak accessory muscles.continued on next slide

Prehospital Emergency Care, 10th editionMistovich | KarrenCopyright 2014, 2010, 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights ReservedTalking Points: While the fetus is in the mothers uterus, the lungs do not function, and there is a different pattern of circulation before birth than after. The transition from fetal circulation to pulmonary circulation usually occurs within the first minutes or hours after birth. The infants airway is shorter, narrower, less stable, and more easily obstructed than at any other stage in life. Nasal congestion can cause breathing difficulty. Infants are also diaphragm breathers; you may see more movement in the abdomen than the chest. 11Neonates and InfantsPhysiological developmentFatigue can occur easily from respiratory distress.Observe the abdomen for work of breathing.Increased respirations can lead to dehydration and heat loss.continued on next slide

Prehospital Emergency Care, 10th editionMistovich | KarrenCopyright 2014, 2010, 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights ReservedWith breathing difficulty, infants fatigue easily because their accessory muscles are less mature and tire easily. 12Neonates and InfantsPhysiological developmentImmune system is immature; immunizations are important.Infants have several important reflexes.Movement of extremities should be symmetrical.Inability to localize paincontinued on next slide

Prehospital Emergency Care, 10th editionMistovich | KarrenCopyright 2014, 2010, 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights ReservedThe antibodies passed to the infant from the mother help protect the infant until they can produce their own antibodies, either from vaccination or exposure to diseases.

Reflexes:Moro reflex (Startle) Throws arms out, spreads fingers, grabs with fingers and armsPalmar reflex Grasps objects placed in palm (Within a couple of months, this merges with the ability to release an object from the hand.)Sucking reflex Sucks when lips are stroked (This reflex works in conjunction with the rooting reflex.)Rooting reflex Turns toward side of head touched

These movements should be relatively equal on both sides.

13Neonates and InfantsPhysiological developmentPosterior fontanelle closes at 3 months.Anterior fontanelle closes between 9 and 18 months.Examine the fontanelles for assessment of hydration.continued on next slide

Prehospital Emergency Care, 10th editionMistovich | KarrenCopyright 2014, 2010, 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights ReservedThe bones at the top of the skull are not fused at birth. The soft spot where these bones meet is called a fontanelle. The posterior fontanelle usually closes in 23 months; the anterior fontanelle between 918 months. Looking at the anterior fontanelle gives a good idea of the infants state of hydration. Normally the fontanelle is level with or slightly below the surface of the skull. A sunken fontanelle indicates dehydration. A bulging fontanelle indicates increased pressure inside the skull.14Neonates and Infants2-month milestonesTrack objects with eyes.Focus on objects 812 inches away.Recognize familiar faces.Display primary emotions and facial expressions.Hear and recognize some familiar sounds and voices.Move in response to stimuli. continued on next slide

Prehospital Emergency Care, 10th editionMistovich | KarrenCopyright 2014, 2010, 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights ReservedAn infants chief means of expression is crying. Within the first 6 months, infants start displaying the following characteristics: Bonding. This is their sense that their needs will be met. When they are hungry, they are fed. When they need to be held, they are held. Trust vs. mistrust. Infants like orderly, predictable environment. When the environment is disorderly and irregular, infants develop anxiety and insecurity. Scaffolding. Infants learn by building on what they already know. Temperament. This is an infants reaction to the environment.

Prehospital Emergency Care, 10th editionMistovich | KarrenCopyright 2014, 2010, 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights ReservedAdolescents want to be treated as adults but are not yet allowed to make their own medical decisions. Adolescence can be a time of serious family conflicts as the adolescent strives for independence and parents strive for continued control. This is a time when eating disorders are common. It also is a time when self-destructive behaviors begin, such as use of tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs, and unsafe driving. Depression and suicide are alarmingly common in this age group. As adolescents develop their capacity for logical, analytical, and abstract thinking, they begin to develop a personal code of ethics.

Prehospital Emergency Care, 10th editionMistovich | KarrenCopyright 2014, 2010, 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.All Rights ReservedThere are no significant changes in vital signs from early adulthood. Adults start to have vision problems and often wear glasses. Cholesterol may be high, and adults are concerned about health problems. For women, menopause commences. Heart disease is the major killer after 40 in all age, sex, and racial groups. Adults become more task oriented as they see the time for accomplishing lifetime goals diminish. They tend to approach problems more as challenges than as threats. With their children starting lives of their own, they are experiencing empty-nest syndrome. This may also be a time of increased freedom and opportunity for self-fulfillment. They are also concerned about their aging parents.

Is assisted living, or perhaps a nursing home, needed? Though having slowed down, the adult is concerned with producing quality work. With limited income and increasing expenses, financial concerns weigh heavily. The adult sees friends and relatives become ill and die. Concerns about the adults own health condition and mortality often come to mind.56Late AdulthoodPsychosocial changesMay be satisfied with the outcome of life, or regrets can lead to depressionFeelings of isolation may occur.Financial difficulties may occur.Decreased independence can affect feelings of well-being.
