Compare the physical assessments among school-aged children. Describe how you would modify assessment techniques to match the age and developmental stage of the child.

Physical assessment of school-aged children typically includes examinations of the head and neck, chest and lungs, heart, abdomen, back and spine, musculoskeletal system, nervous system and skin (Thomas et al., 2018). Each component should be assessed to determine any abnormalities or issues within each system. However, as this age range may also include preteenagers to teenagers who are nearing adulthood it is important to take into account their individual developmental stage when assessing them.
