Growth and Development of the Adolescent:
Summary
Adolescence is a time of rapid physical growth and cognitive
growth. Physical development during the adolescent years is
characterized by dramatic changes in size and appearance,
culminating in an "adult" appearance. Adolescents experience a
growth spurt that includes rapid increases in height and weight,
and primary and secondary sexual characteristics are acquired
through the influence of reproductive hormones in both males
and females. Nurses can provide anticipatory guidance regarding
expected changes by using a sexual maturity rating to help the
adolescent understand pubertal changes. Sexual maturity rating
provides a better gauge of physical development than age alone.
The cognitive growth that occurs during adolescence involves
moving from concrete reasoning to abstract reasoning, and
forming a sense of identity. Adolescents become egocentric and

Summary
During the first year of life, the infant's organs grow and mature

increased control of reflexes and increasingly coordinated
movement. Sensory capabilities, neuromuscular control,
perceptual skills, the quality and quantity of parental interaction,
and environmental stimulation all affect cognitive development

Growth and Development of the Preschool Child:
Summary
During the preschool years, physical growth is slower compared
to motor, cognitive, and language growth. Preschool children
gain a sense of initiative. The preschooler is busy learning how
to do things and takes great pride in new accomplishments. They
need opportunities to play with others to learn communication
skills and ways to get along with others. Preschool children will
learn to share and cooperate as they play in small groups, and
play is often imitative, dramatic, and creative. Preschoolers'
thinking is still magical and egocentric. They tend to understand
events only as those events affect them, believing that everyone
else has the same experience. Preschool children may be
overwhelmed by feelings of guilt if a loved one is injured or
becomes ill because they believe their thoughts are powerful
enough to cause events to happen. The nurse should encoura
