Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse would obtain information about the age at which developmental milestones occurred from the parents, as they are more likely to accurately recall these early childhood events. Adolescents may not remember or have accurate information about their developmental milestones. Information about dietary preferences, allergies, perceptions of care, and academic achievement can be directly obtained from the adolescent.
