You are working in a community pediatric health clinic. Which expected life transition should you apply into your practice for these pediatric clients as you are caring for pediatric clients of all ages?

  • A

    Pregnancy

  • B

    Puberty

  • C

    Childhood immunizations

  • D

    Separation anxiety

Correct Response: B

The expected life transition should you apply into your practice for these pediatric clients as you are caring for pediatric clients of all ages is puberty.

Throughout the life span, there are several significant expected life transitions that require the person to cope and adjust. Some of these expected life transitions include puberty, maternal and paternal attachments and bonding to the neonate, pregnancy, care of the newborn, parenting, and retirement.

Although young children will experience separation anxiety and they will also be maintained on an immunization schedule, these are not expected life changes.
