Question 1
A 9-month-old infant is seen for a well-child visit. The nurse notes that the infant sits steadily without support, transfers objects
hand to hand, and babbles with consonant sounds. The parent reports the infant has not yet begun to pull to stand. The nurse
recognizes that this developmental profile is most consistent with which conclusion?
A. Age-appropriate gross and fine motor skills with expected variation in timing of pull-to-stand.
B. Significant delay requiring immediate referral for formal developmental evaluation.
C. Advanced fine motor skills that compensate for delayed language milestones.
D. Failure to meet any expected 9-month milestones across domains.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sitting steadily, transferring objects, and babbling are expected at 9 months. Pull-to-stand often appears between 9 and 12
months, so its absence at exactly 9 months is still within normal range.
Question 2
A preschooler is prepared for a painful procedure. The nurse selects a distraction technique that matches the child's cognitive
stage. The most developmentally appropriate choice for a 4-year-old is which intervention?
A. Allowing the child to hold a favorite toy and count colorful stickers during the procedure.
B. Providing a detailed anatomical explanation of the procedure using medical terminology.
C. Asking the child to remain completely still and silent without any coping support.
D. Showing a video of the exact surgical procedure performed on another child.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Preschoolers benefit from concrete, playful distraction and control through simple choices. Abstract medical explanations exceed
their cognitive level and can increase fear.
Question 3
During a physical assessment of a 2-year-old, the nurse plans the sequence of examination steps. The approach that is most
likely to maintain cooperation is which order?
A. Begin with observation and auscultation of heart and lungs while the child is quiet, saving invasive steps for last.
B. Start immediately with the otoscopic and oral examinations to get them over with.
C. Perform all painful procedures first so the child can calm down afterward.
D. Complete the entire head-to-toe sequence in strict adult order without adaptation.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Toddlers tolerate assessment best when quiet activities occur first and distressing procedures (ears, throat, genitalia) are reserved
for the end while the child is still relatively cooperative.
Question 4
A school-age child is hospitalized for the first time. The nurse observes that the child is quiet, answers questions with single
words, and repeatedly asks when parents will return. The priority nursing interpretation of this behavior is which assessment?
A. Separation anxiety and fear of the unknown that require presence, reassurance, and clear information.
B. Normal developmental regression that needs no intervention beyond routine care.
C. Oppositional behavior that should be managed with firm limit-setting only.
D. Possible developmental disability that was previously undiagnosed.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: School-age children still experience significant separation anxiety and fear in hospital settings; quietness and repeated questions
about parental return are classic signs needing supportive presence and honest information.
