MULTIPLE CHOICE dr
1. The RN manager of a pediatric clinic could confirm that the new RN recognized the purpose
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
dr of the HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile when the new RN responds that it is used to assess
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
dr for needs related to
dr dr dr
a. anticipatory guidance. dr
b. low-risk adolescents. dr
c. physical development. dr
d. sexual development. dr
CORRECT ANS: A dr dr
Feedback: The HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile is a psychosocial assessment screening tool
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
which assesses home, education, activities, drugs, sex, and suicide for the purpose of identifying
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
dr high-risk adolescents and the need for anticipatory guidance. It is used to identify high-risk, not
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
dr low-risk, adolescents. Physical development is assessed with anthropometric data. Sexual
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
dr development is assessed using physical examination. dr dr dr dr dr

2. The RN preparing a teaching plan for a preschooler knows that, according to Piaget, the
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
dr expected stage of development for a preschooler is
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
a. concrete operational. dr
b. formal operational. dr
c. preoperational.
d. sensorimotor.
CORRECT ANS: C dr dr
Feedback: The expected stage of development for a preschooler (3 to 4 years old) is
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
preoperational. Concrete operational describes the thinking of a school-age child (7 to 11 years
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
dr old). Formaldr dr
,describes the thinking of an individual after about 11 years of age. Sensorimotor describes the
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr

3. The school RN talking with a high school class about the difference between growth

and development would best describe growth as
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
a. processes by which early cells specialize. dr dr dr dr dr
b. psychosocial and cognitive changes. dr dr dr
c. qualitative changes associated with aging. dr dr dr dr
d. quantitative changes in size or weight. dr dr dr dr dr
CORRECT ANS: D dr dr
Feedback: Growth is a quantitative change in which an increase in cell number and size results
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
dr in an increase in overall size or weight of the body or any of its parts. The processes by
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr

4. The most appropriate response of the RN when a mother asks what the Denver II does is that it
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
a. can diagnose developmental disabilities.
dr dr dr
b. identifies a need for physical therapy. dr dr dr dr dr
c. is a developmental screening tool.
dr dr dr dr
d. provides a framework for health teaching. dr dr dr dr dr
CORRECT ANS: C dr dr
Feedback: The Denver II is the most commonly used measure of developmental status used by
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
dr health care professionals; it is a screening tool. Screening tools do not provide a diagnosis.
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
Diagnosis requires a thorough neurodevelopment history and physical examination.
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
dr Developmental delay, which is suggested by screening, is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
dr need for any therapy would be identified with a comprehensive evaluation, not a screening
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
dr tool. Some providers use the Denver II as a framework for teaching about expected
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
, dr development, but this is not the primary purpose of the tool.
