ATI PEDIATRICS PROCTORED FINAL EXAM – STUDY GUIDE Fontanels: what is the expected age they close? • Posterior fontanel closes by 6-8 weeks • Anterior fontanel closes by 12-18 months What i... s regression and what pediatric stage is this seen the most? Regression: The retreat from one’s present pattern of functioning to past levels of behavior Usually occurs in instances of discomfort or stress when one attempts to conserve psychic energy by reverting to patterns of behavior that were successful in earlier stages of development. Common in toddlers because almost any additional stress hinders their ability to master present developmental tasks. Any threat to their autonomy, such as illness, hospitalization, separation from a parent, disruption of established routines, or adjustment to a new sibling, represents a need to revert to earlier forms of behavior, such as increased dependency; refusal to use the potty chair; temper tantrums; demand for the bottle or pacifier; and loss of newly learned motor, language, social, and cognitive skills.
