Two-point discrimination is the minimal distance which someone can perceive two different stimuli that given simultaneously. An area with higher receptor density will have a lower two-point discrimination result since the distance between receptor is lower.
The area that needs a high sensitivity like the palm of the <span>hands(especially the fingertips), face</span>, and tongue should be the one with lowest two-point discrimination.
In this report, a<span>nterior forearm two-point discrimination result is the lower than the fingertip. This result is suspicious since the forearm shouldn't more sensitive than the fingertip. Fingertip two-point discrimination is around 2-6mm and forearm should be much higher than 6mm.

- Provide the family with lead education
- Consider treating the child with appropriate chelation therapy
- Refer the child to a clinical center specializing in lead poisoning
If the blood lead level<span> of a preschooler is found to be between 20 and 44 mcg/dL, the nurse should provide lead education to the family. The nurse should also consider treating the child with appropriate chelation therapy. The nurse may refer the child to a clinical center specializing in lead poisoning. The nurse should refer the child to social services if the child’s blood lead level is between 15 and 19 mcg/dL. The nurse should immediately provide diagnostic testing and initiate chelation therapy if the child’s blood lead level is 70 mcg/dL or greater.</span>
