Schemat użycia:
paediatric [department/care/ward/patient]
Częsty błąd:
Learners sometimes confuse the spelling and use the American form *pediatric* in British English contexts, or mix the two in the same text. Choose one style ("paediatric" for BrE, "pediatric" for AmE) and use it consistently. Another mistake is using it as a noun (e.g. *He is a paediatric*); it is an adjective and should modify a noun (e.g. *He is a paediatric patient* or *He is a paediatric doctor*).
Synonimy
pediatric (Standard American English spelling; meaning is the same as the British spelling "paediatric".)
|
child health (Broader and less technical; can include general well-being, not only medical treatment.)
Antonimy
adult (Used before medical nouns (e.g. "adult ward", "adult medicine") to show treatment for fully grown people instead of children.)
