When assessing a child via a biopsychosocial approach, attention should focus on the child's biological development; the presence of medical illness; cognitive and personality characteristics; cultural context; and the child's family, school, and social environment. When planning immediate care, however, the nurse would assess ego competency skills first to determine the child's strengths and the extent of mastery of each skill.
