Caregiving techniques successful with 22-year-olds may be inappropriate for 12-year-olds and confusing to some 72-year-olds. Knowing how to provide care in an age-specific manner is an important part of meeting patient needs, and is a requirement for meeting Joint Commission standards. The three-part series, Age-specific Care promotes providing age-specific care by describing the stages of human growth and demonstrating successful strategies for providing care at each stage.

In each program in this series, it is communicated that through incorporating age-specific considerations into the care for each patient:

• you help identify and provide the care that particular person needs at that time of life.
• you help the person become an active partner in health decisions, as much as the person's age makes possible, and you will help your institution comply with accreditation standards established by the Joint Commission.

Toddlers through Teens discusses the following age groups:

• Young Toddler: 1 year - 18 months
• Older Toddler:18 months to 3 years
• Pre-schooler: 3 to 5 years,
• School Age5 to 8 years,
• Pre-Teens: 8 to 12 years
• Early Teens:13 to 15 years.
• Late Teens:16 to 18 years.

Systematically addresses the following five areas with each of the seven age groupings: Age Characteristics, Communication, Age-Specific Care, Nursing Considerations and Safety Needs
