The only pocket-sized resource to methodically guide you through pediatric well visits using a unique mnemonic to ensure consistent and thorough evaluation of your patients.

This pocket guide has everything you need to ensure a thorough well visit for your pediatric patients from newborn to adolescence. With the author's unique NEST & FLY mnemonic applied throughout, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers are methodically guided through each well visit to ensure a consistent and complete exam.

Uniquely designed in easy-to-navigate color-coded tables, you will quickly find all the information you need at your fingertips to evaluate your pediatric patients' nutrition, elimination, growth, family and social environment, and physical and cognitive development. You will also find key interviewing strategies and questions to gather an updated history, as well as step-by-step guidelines for the head-to-toe physical examination. Also included are anticipatory guidance suggestions for caregiver and patient education by age group.

Pertinent questions (including psychosocial screening) and anticipatory guidance by age
