Padrão de uso:
pediatric [noun]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "pediatric" with "pedestrian" or "podiatric" because they look similar, but they are unrelated. Another common mistake is spelling: American English uses "pediatric", while British English uses "paediatric". Also, "pediatric" is an adjective and is usually used before a noun ("pediatric clinic", not "the clinic is pediatric" in most contexts).
Sinônimos
paediatric (Same meaning; this is the standard British spelling, while "pediatric" is the usual American spelling.)
|
child health (Often used as a noun phrase rather than an adjective, but refers to the same field of medicine focused on children.)
Antônimos
geriatric (Refers to medical care and conditions of older adults, which contrasts with pediatric care for children.)
