Question - 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 fifteen words 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. How would an FNP handle the assessment of the patient's language skills in the office? What will need to be done clinically? Discuss possible differential diagnoses and how the PCP can rule them out. What stage of child development is the child in? Select two theorists to compare to this stage of child development and explain the relationship.
