PY - 2011 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 22e AB - Each pediatric encounter is an opportunity to monitor a child’s development at a single point in time. Making focused observations about developmental progress and behavioral patterns should be an integral part of each pediatric encounter—in the office or clinic, during acute visits and those for chronic conditions, in the emergency department or an inpatient setting, and during telephone calls.
