The day-care physical examination.
Many Canadian children attend day care. Family physicians are being asked, more and more frequently, to provide assessment of a child's health status prior to day-care admission. The authors of this paper provide evidence for the most useful screening tests in the pre-school age group, outline some means of identification of children at high risk for infectious disease, and suggest rational patterns of use of laboratory investigations. They also propose a guide to the day-care physical examination.
