ANSWER
Early Childhood Developmental Needs Plan (Ages 3-5)
Overview
The nursing process (ADPIE) is used in this plan to evaluate and meet the developmental requirements of children between the ages of three and five. The 40 Developmental Assets identified by the Search Institute serve as the focus, and the interventions are intended to promote healthy development in the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical domains.
Gathering Assessment Data:
Examine developmental history and milestones supplied by carers utilising resources such as the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3).
To assess the child’s social skills, linguistic proficiency, and physical capabilities, watch how they behave during encounters.
Principal Areas of Attention:
Physical development: The ability to use both fine and gross motor abilities (e.g., sketching, climbing).
Cognitive growth includes the ability to solve problems, be curious, and speak a language.
Emotional development includes self-control, attachment to carers, and the capacity to communicate emotions.
Social development includes social interaction, sharing abilities, and communication skills.
Techniques:
interviews with carers to learn about the effects of the environment (e.g., home environment, parenting style).
Play activities are observed to evaluate developmental growth, creativity, and teamwork.
Making a diagnosis
Potential nursing diagnoses based on the results could be:
Lack of opportunity for verbal interaction or language stimulation results in delayed language development.
Potential nutritional inadequacies brought on by a lack of access to wholesome dietary options are known as imbalanced nutrition.
Limited peer connection as a result of insufficient exposure to group settings increases the risk of social isolation.
Planning Objectives:
Improve language development by providing carer support and engaging activities.
Encourage physical development and well-being through active play and dietary education.
Encourage social and emotional intelligence through controlled peer interactions and encouraging feedback from carers.
Desired Results:
Within three months, the child’s verbal skills are age-appropriate.
Within six weeks, carers report better eating and exercise patterns.
Within two months, the child’s participation in social activities has grown.
Interventions for Implementation:
Language Development: To promote regular reading, give carers resources like books and narrative manuals.
Suggest games that encourage language use, like interactive storytelling or word puzzles.
Physical Health: Use the Choose MyPlate framework to teach carers how to plan meals that are appropriate for each child’s age.
To enhance gross motor skills, recommend outside activities such as group sports or playground visits.
Social and Emotional Development: Provide courses to carers on techniques for good discipline and encouraging emotional expression.
To promote structured peer contact, encourage involvement in neighbourhood preschool programmes or playgroups.
Local Resources:
For organised developmental support, direct families to nearby initiatives like Head Start.
Distribute instructional resources from reputable institutions such as the American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) and the CDC.
Success Evaluation Metrics:
increased verbal engagement or better language test results.
improvement in activity levels or weight for feed that has been documented.
Carers’ opinions regarding the child’s involvement in social and group activities.
Follow-up:
Using standardised instruments, reevaluate developmental progress every three months.
Keep an eye on how well carers are following the suggested tactics.

QUESTION
This topic will focus on children and how to assess for and address their developmental needs. The Search Institute is a nonprofit organization that conducts and applies research to promote positive youth development. In 1994, the Search Institute published “What Kids Need to Succeed” with 40 Developmental Assets for raising children. Please review the 40 Developmental Assets documents located in topic Resources.
You will create a plan using the nursing process (Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation [ADPIE]) that will focus on the given age group:
A-F: 3 to 5 years – Early childhood
Use the attached template (NRS-420-RS-T2EarlyChildhoodTemplate.docx) based on your assigned age group to successfully complete the assignment from the perspective of a nurse working at your state’s Department of Human Services.
You are required to cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the past 5 years, appropriate for the assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing practice.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide.
