A new developmental screening test. The Denver II.
To maximize the potential of a child with a developmental delay, early detection and intervention is essential (Frankenburg and Thornton, 1989). The nurse practitioner who includes a developmental screening with the child's general assessment may detect a developmental delay during a routine office visit. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the Denver II, a new developmental screening test.
