Children will feel safer during an examination if it is initiated from the extremities and then moves to the torso.For example,examine the extremities before moving to the chest.It also helps to perform parts of the examination that you can do visually before actually touching the child.When obtaining histories of infants and children,the nurse should gather all or part of the information from parents or guardians.Call children by their preferred name,and address parents formally (e.g.,as "Mr.and Mrs.Brown")rather than by first names.
