Comprehensive Examination
200 Questions with Answers and Rationales
Section A: Growth and Development (Questions 1-40)
QUESTION 1:
A 4-month-old infant is brought in for a well-child visit. Which developmental milestone should the
nurse practitioner expect this infant to have achieved?
Page 2 of 77
, NRNP 6541
A. Sits without support
B. Rolls from front to back
C. Pincer grasp
D. Responds to name
ANSWER:
B. Rolls from front to back
RATIONALE:
Rolling from front to back is typically achieved by 4 months of age . Sitting without support occurs
around 6-8 months. Pincer grasp develops around 9-10 months. Responding to name typically occurs
around 6-9 months. The 4-month visit is also when the second dose of DTaP, IPV, Hib, PCV, and RV
vaccines are administered .
QUESTION 2:
A 2-year-old child is unable to climb stairs, has difficulty with simple puzzles, and speaks in only two-
to three-word phrases. Which developmental delay is this child most likely exhibiting?
A. Fine motor delay
B. Gross motor delay
C. Language delay
D. Cognitive delay
ANSWER:
C. Language delay
RATIONALE:
A 2-year-old typically has a vocabulary of 50 or more words and speaks in two- to three-word
phrases . While difficulty climbing stairs may indicate gross motor delay, the inability to form phrases
beyond two to three words at this age is most concerning for language delay. Simple puzzles are
typically mastered around 2 years of age, and the inability to do so could suggest cognitive delay, but
the language deficit is the most prominent finding described .
QUESTION 3:
During a well-child visit, the mother of an 18-month-old expresses concern that her child is not
speaking as well as older siblings did at that age. Which screening tool is most appropriate to assess
for autism spectrum disorder?
A. Vanderbilt Assessment Scale
B. M-CHAT-R/F
C. Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ)
D. PEDS
ANSWER:
B. M-CHAT-R/F
RATIONALE:
The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised with Follow-Up (M-CHAT-R/F) is the

, NRNP 6541
recommended screening tool for autism spectrum disorder at 18 and 24 months . The Vanderbilt
Assessment Scale is used for ADHD screening in children ages 6-12. The ASQ and PEDS are general
developmental screening tools, not specific to autism spectrum disorder .
QUESTION 4:
A 7-year-old boy presents with a history of school difficulties, inability to sit still, and frequent
interruptions during conversations. Which screening tool should the nurse practitioner use to
evaluate for ADHD?
A. Vanderbilt Assessment Scale
B. M-CHAT
C. Denver II Developmental Screening
D. PedsQL
ANSWER:
A. Vanderbilt Assessment Scale
RATIONALE:
The Vanderbilt Assessment Scale is the recommended screening tool for Attention-
Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children ages 6-12 . It includes both parent and teacher
rating scales, which are essential for diagnosis. M-CHAT is for autism screening, Denver II is a general
developmental screening tool, and PedsQL measures quality of life .
QUESTION 5:
An adolescent male presents with concern about delayed puberty. He is 14 years old with testicular
volume of 4 mL and no pubic hair. Which Tanner stage does this represent?
A. Stage I
B. Stage II
C. Stage III
D. Stage IV
ANSWER:
B. Stage II
RATIONALE:
Tanner Stage II in males is characterized by testicular volume of 4 mL (range 1.6-6 mL) and sparse,
slightly pigmented pubic hair at the base of the penis . Stage I is prepubertal (testes <4 mL, no pubic
hair). Stage III features testicular volume 10-15 mL with pubic hair extending over the pubic
symphysis. Stage IV features testicular volume 15-25 mL with adult-type hair that does not extend to
the thighs .
QUESTION 6:
A 6-year-old child has an abnormal finding on vision screening. Which condition is most common in
this age group?
