Question 1:
A nurse is performing a developmental screening on a 4-year-old child.
Which of the following fine motor skills should the nurse expect the child to
be able to perform?
A. Copying a square
B. Tying shoelaces
C. Drawing a stick figure with 6 parts
D. Building a tower of 10 blocks

Answer: A. Copying a square
Rationale: At 4 years old, a child's fine motor skills include copying a square
and drawing a person with 3 parts. Tying shoelaces (B) is a 5-6 year old skill.
Drawing a stick figure with 6 parts (C) is a 5-year-old skill. Building a tower
of 10 blocks (D) is achieved at 3 years old.




Question 2:
A nurse is caring for a 6-month-old infant who is admitted with respiratory
syncytial virus (RSV). Which of the following positions should the nurse
place the infant in to promote optimal airway clearance?
A. Supine with the head elevated
B. Prone with the head turned to the side
C. Side-lying with the head flat
D. Upright in an infant swing

,Answer: B. Prone with the head turned to the side
*Rationale: Prone positioning (with head turned) promotes postural
drainage and helps secretions drain from the upper airways in infants with
RSV. Supine (A) increases the risk of aspiration and does not facilitate
drainage. Side-lying (C) is less effective for airway clearance. Upright swings
(D) are not recommended due to safety concerns
