During a visit at a BHU, which activity best represents developmental surveillance rather than a single screening test?
Correct answer: B. Observing progress over time and discussing caregiver concerns
- A. Measuring only the child's head circumference
- B. Observing progress over time and discussing caregiver concerns
- C. Giving an antibiotic before assessing the child
- D. Comparing the child with the tallest child in the class
Explanation
Developmental surveillance is an ongoing process that includes observation, review of milestones, clinical history and caregiver concerns at repeated contacts. A screening test is a structured assessment performed at a particular time and does not replace continuing surveillance.
