Part 1
Erickson development theory
The growth of a newborn is an issue that requires regular screening to ensure their growth is okay with their age. The health screening will involve a ten years boy child. The client is living with the parents and has undergone all the immunizations that are required for a child. Pediatric screening is a branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, adolescents, and children (Feng, 2018). The child is in Erickson’s psychosocial theory, stage Four. Stage 4 is called the industry and inferiority stage, where the children interact and begin to develop a sense of pride for their achievement. According to development theory, a child in this stage should be in a position to express the ability to want appreciations for their deeds. The children who do not receive encouragement at this stage will always develop low self-esteem. It is the most sensitive development stage that defines the competency of a child.
Motivational theory
Various motivational theories are applicable in pediatrics. The client in the pediatric screening fits in the drive reduction motivation theory. The theory defines that every human being has needs and will always strain to satisfy the needs (Schneider & Adamy, 2015). The primary requirement is the basic needs and secondary drives.For example, for the client, it is essential to ensure he is in a position to do things such as the recitation of a poem or a song for appreciation. The boy must express the ability to show off when given a chance to recite poems. In the screening, I will assess the ability of the child to feel appreciated.
Therapeutic communication techniques
Therapy is vital in defining the ability of a patient to respond to the expected changes. A ten-year-old child is expected to be knowledgeable, and it is essential to pass them through a cognitive test. The child will be taken through cognitive therapy to identify the development of the brain and the neurons (Kathryn McHugh, 2010). It will also help to ascertain the factors that are acting as barriers to development. Cognitive therapy will help to accord the needed assistance.
Part 2
The child has been able to undertake all the requirements that are required during child growth. The child has been in a position to undertake all vaccines that ate required during every stage of child development. The child has had vaccinations against BCG, Hepatitis, and other vaccines required for a child below 10years. However, the child has not taken Oral polio that is a requirement at this age. The child has indicated some low immunity due to the skip of the immunization.
Survey
The child was healthy but weak in the immunity levels. The client has a high chance of contacting Poliomyelitis, which is a dangerous disease in child growth and development.
Part 3
The child requires to be taken to the hospital to take oral polio immediately to ensure the child is safe and immune. Poliomyelitis is a disease that is causing deaths for many children in the 21st century. The reason for selecting Poliomyelitis is due to the current ranking among the most deadly diseases. It is crucial to ensure the children have been protected against the disease.
Care plan
The client will need to health canter and meet a nurse who will ensure he receives the required supplements in the process. The diagnosis will aim at ensuring that the child is not exposed to diseases while strengthening immunity. The intervention will take six months to allow for successful follow-ups. The nursing practice will be a preventive approach.
