    The document discusses responses from two individuals about topics related to child health checks. The first response provides information about molluscum contagiosum, including its transmission, prevalence, and common locations on the body. The second response discusses the importance of monitoring growth and development in children, especially those with existing conditions, through regular checkups involving measurements, growth charts, and testing of vision, hearing, eating, sleeping, and activity patterns.

    Hello Dashon. Thank you for taking part in this week’s discussion. It is a benign condition of

    the skin that is also known as water warts. The mode of transmission include; directly via

    skin to skin, and indirectly through toys, towels, razor and underclothes. There are also

    reported cases of prepartum and utero transmission causing congenital molluscum when

    mostly develops during the early months of life. The condition is very common and there

    were about 122 million cases reported in 2010 (Badri & Gandhi, 2020). It is more common in

    humid and warm areas and children aged two to 5 years. The most cases of adults and

    teenagers result from sexual transmission and also immunocompromised individuals. An

    individual of atopic dermatitis increases the risk of developing molluscum contagious. The

    prevalence among people living with HIV/AIDS is 18%. The Mollusca is located in the

    trunk, axilla, limbs and face among children.

    Hello Rita. The information on the discussion is detailed and on point. All the parents and

    caregivers need to monitor the growth and development in addition to existing conditions

    such as hypothyroidism by attending hospital check-ups. It can be best assessed by measuring

    the weight, height, mid-upper arm circumference, and calculating the body mass index. Using

    the growth chart will also help compare height and weight for age. It is essential to test the
    vision and hearing levels of the child, eating, sleeping, physical activity, and growth and

    development patterns (Gavin, 2021). The assessment tools will help the healthcare

    practitioner detect a child at risk and develop interventions depending on the child’s needs.
