Question of the Month – September 2024

The intake includes the child’s temperature, weight, height, and blood pressure. Upon visual assessment, the child appears to be doing well. In your chart review, you note that the parent has verbalized concerns about their child related to their reading abilities and asthma.

A. The Hunger Vital Sign (2 item screen)
B. GAD 7
