Week 8 – Care of Children: Pediatric Considerations
Chapter 32 –
1. Parents are often confused by the terms growth and development and use the terms
interchangeably. Based on the nurse's knowledge of growth and development, which of
the following is the most
a) A child grows taller all through early childhood. - appropriate explanation?
Development is the mental
and
cognitive attainment of skills. Growth is the increase in physical size—both height and weight.
b) A child learns to feed and dress himself or herself.
c) A child's weight triples during the first year.
d) A child's brain increases in size until school age.
2. During a well-baby visit, the mother of a 6-month-old asks the nurse for advice on how
much sleep her child should be getting each day. Based on the nurse's knowledge of
sleep and rest, the nurse suggests:
a) 16 hours per day
b) 12 hours with one nap per day
c) 14 hours with two to three naps per day - Newborns may sleep as much as 16 hours
per
day. Sleeping 12 hours with one nap per day is usually recommended for toddlers older than 2
years of age. Babies 2 to 6 months of age generally sleep 14 to 16 hours per day with two to
three naps. Preschoolers aged 3 to 5 years of age on average sleep 10 to 12 hours per day and
give up daytime naps.
d) 12 hours with no nap
, 3. The nurse is talking to a group of parents about different types of play in which children
engage. Which statement made by a parent would indicate a correct understanding of
the teaching?
a) "In parallel-play, children borrow and lend play materials and sometimes attempt to
control who plays in the group."
b) "In associative play, children play independently but among other children."
c) "During onlooker play, children play alone with toys different from those used by other
d) "Cooperative play is organized, and children play in a group with other children." -
children in the same area."
Play in which children borrow and lend play materials and attempt to control who plays in the
group is known as associative play. Parallel play occurs when children play independently but
among other children. Onlooker play is described as play in which children watch but make no
attempt to enter into play with other children. Cooperative play is play that is organized;
children play in a group with other children and plan activities for purposes of accomplishing an
end.
4. Based on Piaget's theory of cognitive development, what is one basic concept a child is
expected to attain during the
a) If an object is hidden, that does not mean that it is gone. - first year of life?
Part of learning
permanence
is learning that although an object is no longer visible, it still exists. At 1 year of age, a child may
not be able to understand that an object that changes shape is still the same object.
Understanding conservation occurs between 7 and 11 years of age. During the first year of life,
problem solving is primarily by trial and error. Problem solving and reasoning is inductive
between the ages of 7 and 11.
b) He or she cannot be fooled by changing shapes.
c) Parents are not perfect.
d) Problem solving and reasoning is inductive.
5. Which best describes Piaget's cognitive stage of formal operations?
a) Deductive and abstract reasoning - Piaget’s cognitive stage of formal operations occurs
between the ages of 11 and 15; deductive and abstract reasoning are developed. Inductive
reasoning and beginning logic begin in the concrete operations stage between the ages of 7
and 11. Transductive reasoning and egocentrism occur in the preoperational stage at age 2 to
7. Cause-and-effect and object permanence occur during the sensorimotor stage from birth to
2 years.
b) Inductive reasoning and beginning logic
c) Transductive reasoning and egocentrism
d) Cause-and-effect reasoning and object permanence
, 6. A nurse is examining a toddler and is discussing with the mother psychosocial
development according to Erikson's theories. Based on the nurse's knowledge of
Erikson, the most age-appropriate activity to suggest to the mother at this stage is to:
a) feed the child lunch- A toddler is developing autonomy and is able to start making some
choices about what he or she can wear; the toddler would not want the mother to feed
him or her. The child is at the stage of autonomy versus shame and doubt, as defined by
Erikson. At this age, the mother should provide opportunities for the child to be active
and learn by experience and imitation. Providing toys the child can control will help
achieve this stage. A toddler might easily become overstimulated by images from TV
and loud sounds. Toddlers are more interested in manipulating and learning from
objects in the environment.
b) allow the toddler to start making choices about what to wear.
c) allow the toddler to play only with quiet toys.
d) turn on a TV show with bright colors and loud songs.
7. During their school-age years, children best understand concepts that can be seen or
illustrated. The nurse knows this type of thinking is termed:
a) concrete operations - Black-and-white reasoning involves a situation in which only two
alternatives are considered, when in fact there are additional options. Preoperational
thinking is concrete and tangible. During the school-age years, children deal with
thoughts and learn through observation. They do not have the ability to do abstract
reasoning and they learn best with illustration. Thought at this time is dominated by
what the school-age child can see, hear, or otherwise experience. During the
sensorimotor stage, intellectual development progresses through the stages of cause
and effect and problem solving by trial and error. Formal operations are characterized
by the adaptability and flexibility that occur during the adolescent years.
b) preoperational.
c) sensorimotor.
d) formal operations.
8. The nurse is developing a teaching plan about toy safety. The nurse should include what
advice about selecting safe and age-appropriate toys? (select all that apply)
a) Bath seats are recommended to keep young children safe in the bathtub.
b) Discourage toys that promote violence, such as guns and violent video
games.
c) Select toys that do not have small removable Bath
parts. seats or
bath
d) Battery-operated toys must be in good condition and secure. -
rings
should not be used, as they can tip over and cause young children to drown. Toys that promote
violence should be discouraged. Toys that have small parts that can break or be removed from
the toy pose a choking hazard for young children. Toys with removable batteries can pose a
, health risk if young children are able to remove them, particularly button-type batteries,
which can be swallowed and cause internal injury. Baby walkers should not be used, as
babies can fall down stairs or get burned from pulling hot objects or liquids onto
themselves.
e) Baby walkers should be used to help promote age-appropriate walking.
9. During a well-baby visit, the parents of a 15-month-old ask the nurse for advice on
ageappropriate toys for their child. Based on the nurse's knowledge of developmental
levels, the most appropriate toys to suggest are: (select all that
a) push-pull toys. - apply)
Both gross- and fine-motor skills are becoming more developed
and
children at this age enjoy toys that can help refine these skills. Children at this age enjoy
colorful toys, not black and white toys. They are also less interested in placing toys in the
mouth and more interested in toys that can be manipulated.
b) toys with black-white patterns.
c) pop-up toys, such as a Jack-in-the-
box.
d) soft toys that can be put in the mouth.
e) toys that pop apart and go back
together.
10. A nurse is discussing various developmental theories at a parenting class. Which
individual is associated with the moral development theory?
a) Erikson
b) Fowler
c) Kohlberg- Kohlberg developed the theory of moral development sequence for children.
It includes how children acquire moral reasoning and is based on cognitive
developmental theory. Erikson developed the theory of psychosocial development.
Fowler developed the theory of spiritual development. Freud developed the theory of
psychosexual development.
d) Freud
11. Which statement helps explain the growth and development of children?
a) Development proceeds at a predictable rate.
b) The sequence of developmental milestones is predictable- There is a fixed, precise order
to development. There are periods of both accelerated and decelerated growth and
development. Each child develops at his or her own rate. Physical growth and
development proceed at differing rates.
c) Rates of growth are consistent among children.
d) At times of rapid growth, there is also acceleration of development.
