AB The  emergency  physician  must  have  a  reasonable  knowledge  of  the  developmental  stages  to  identify  abnormal  or  delayed  development.Observation  of  the  young  child  during  history  taking  provides  much  insight  regarding  the  severity  of  his  affliction.Often,  the  best  examination  occurs  while  the  parent  is  holding  the  child  in  her  lap  or  arms.Good  history  taking  can  minimize  the  need  for  blood  work.Minimizing  radiation  exposure,  the  “as  low  as  reasonably  achievable”  (ALARA)  principle  is  particularly  important  in  children.
