Assignment:

A 2-year-old patient is in for his well-child examination with his mother and father, who are concerned about his lack of speech. He says only 15 word and seems to babble most of the time. He responds to his own name and can point to himself. He also allows books to be read to him and enjoys imitating words while pointing to the pictures in the books. His older sister is 4 years old. What specific patient education and anticipatory guidance (including primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of prevention) would you provide to the 2-year-old patient and his family?

Research health promotion and disease prevention guidelines for newborn to toddler-aged patients, including risk factors for disease, attitudes towards health and wellness, and barriers that may prevent access to health promotion and disease prevention interventions. Identify at least two potential specialist referrals and other service providers, including local, state, national, and global resources for this patient. Support your answer with a minimum of two APRN-approved scholarly resources.
