This week in clinical I safely administered morning medications to my patient who is a toddler satisfying SON’s competency 4:6 Administers medications on time and in a knowledgeable and safe manner. With my clinical instructor, Colleen, we discussed the medications and their purpose prior to administration. I also performed the 5 rights and 3 checks prior to giving my patient’s grandmother the medication to administer to my patient. In the lecture portion of the course, while reading about medication administration the professor of the course discussed how toddlers may have stranger anxiety and the patient may be more compliant with their own guardian rather than a stranger. In this case, I think it was best way of giving medication because my…
On 06/01/2018 at approximately 2343 hours, I, Deputy A. Martinez Vazquez responded to 3050 Healing Place, Oviedo, Seminole County, FL., in reference to a juvenile battering a staff member of the facility. When I arrived, I observed a juvenile by the name of Diallo Xavier Fitzgerald (B/M DOB: 01/29/2003) sitting on a chair in the dining room area surrounded by other facility staff members.

Also, at the time of the observation she would spill water all over the table when trying to pour water for herself. Currently, she has achieved hola hooping. I watched a video of her hula hooping, and she has mastered the skill, and it was quite amazing since I cannot even achieve that ability.…
Joey’s developmental milestone I would expect is some deficiencies are possibly language acquisition, emotional development, and attachment milestones. Because from birth Joey was separated from his paternal mother Amelia until he was three months old, due to the fact Emilia is addicted to crack cocaine and joey tested positive for having the drug in his system when he was born. This could be the reason for the deficiencies of language acquisition and emotional development. B. Furthermore, for the three months he was placed in a foster home he was separated from his mother and family which could cause reactive attachment disorder, and being in a foster home with limited resources the care giver probably didn’t have too much time to dedicate…

Play is part of children's nature,especially playing outside. "We’re not talking about structured play. We’re talking about free unstructured play out of doors." Seslija(2014) explains,which is a counselor for Health and Physical Education in the UK.Outside precisely is the “boundaries” of children,it should be a simple and carefree place(Seslija,2014).However,there is a growing body of evidence,according to Cheryl(2009),that demonstrates children’s experiences to nature have changed significantly in childhood in the past few decades. In addition,“there are strong indicators of an absence of direct experience with the natural world in many children’s everyday lives. ”(Charles,2009)However,as Seslija(2014)argues,it is difficult to see a child plays outside anymore in some suburban areas,“It's a desert.…
Also, during my second visit, between 10:30 and 10:35, P got to do an art activity where he got to paint with different colors. P was able to do this by himself, and he painted with his right hand. Lastly, between 11:25-11:30, P was hopping from tape to tape that was on the floor. On the other hand, I did notice that his development was more advanced because he was able to do certain things from the 5+ developmental checklist.

Most of the kids by the first five minutes of this observational period finished and cleaned up their table. Seeing such a drastic that seems to come from about 4 to 6 is amazing, unlike the preschoolers and toddlers the middle childhood kids have begun to take on more responsibility for their actions and are actually able to contribute to the world around them. For example, one of the kids needed a napkin, and rather than just asking a caregiver to get it, they got up and retrieved the napkin. Understandably, this is nothing special and in all honesty I may be finding such meaningless task a bit too exciting, but simply put, the change that can be noticed each age group and with such a large change from the preschoolers observed before it is just amazing to think about how much…

I hear him making all sorts of noises while playing with those objects, once a banana was a train, and a strawberry was a car, and a car strawberry crashed into a banana. When I asked him what happened and why he chooses the banana to be a train, he said it is because it is way longer than the strawberry. From that example I can see that he developed cognitive and object play. He also has a photogenic memory. He does not know how to write or spell, but if you show him a paper that has 20 words written down for just three seconds, he can copy all those words in the same order, without any mistake.…
