Nurse must bear in mind that the growth measurements of children depend on the parent’s size and their racial and ethnic background. Cuffs for children are available and that should be used for taking blood pressure.

A significant problem was a major visual glitch, which made objects in the horizon disappear when in the user’s direct line of sight (Fig. 25). Initially this error was thought to be caused by the rendering layer of the alpha maps, however it was later discovered that, due to the size of the environment, the horizon fell behind the camera’s clipping plane.

Flu season is here. If you have a little one, it’s just a matter of time before they get sick. No matter how careful you are, at some point your baby is going to come down with something.
