What are some common challenges during a pediatric physical examination?
Several challenges can arise, including:
Fear and Anxiety: Children may be scared of the unfamiliar environment and procedures. Non-Cooperation: Young children may be uncooperative or restless. Communication Barriers: Difficulty in understanding the child's symptoms and concerns, especially in non-verbal children. Parental Anxiety: Nervous parents can sometimes add to the child's stress.
Pediatricians need to be patient, empathetic, and skilled in handling these challenges to ensure a thorough and effective examination.
