Physical Examination
The examination maneuvers described
here are focused on medical home visits
of children in the ambulatory setting.
A discussion of newborn examination
within the nursery setting is beyond the
scope of this report; however, Guide-
lines for Perinatal Care, developed by
the AAP Committee on Fetus and New-
born and American College of Obstetrics
and Gynecology Committee on Obstetric
Practice, provides further information.1
