MULTIPLE CHOICE mm




1. The nurse manager of a pediatric clinic could confirm that the new nurse
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



recognized the purpose of the HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile when the new nurse
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



responds that it is used to assess for needs related to
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



a. anticipatory guidance. mm



b. low-risk adolescents. mm



c. physical development. mm



d. sexual development. mm




ANS: A mm



The HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile is a psychosocial assessment screening tool
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



which assesses home, education, activities, drugs, sex, and suicide for the purpose
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



of identifying high-risk adolescents and the need for anticipatory guidance. It is
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



used to identify high-risk, not low-risk, adolescents. Physical development is assessed
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



with anthropometric data. Sexual development is assessed using physical
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



examination.

2. The nurse preparing a teaching plan for a preschooler knows that, according to
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



mm Piaget, the expected stage of development for a preschooler is
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



a. concrete operational. mm



b. formal operational. mm



c. preoperational.
d. sensorimotor.
ANS: C mm



The expected stage of development for a preschooler (3 to 4 years old) is
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



preoperational. Concrete operational describes the thinking of a school-age child (7 to
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



11 years old). Formal operational describes the thinking of an individual after about
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



11 years of age. Sensorimotor describes the earliest pattern of thinking from birth
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



to 2 years old.

3. The school nurse talking with a high school class about the difference between
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



growth and development would best describe growth as
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



a. processes by which early cells specialize. mm mm mm mm mm



b. psychosocial and cognitive changes. mm mm mm



c. qualitative changes associated with aging. mm mm mm mm



d. quantitative changes in size or weight. mm mm mm mm mm




ANS: D mm



Growth is a quantitative change in which an increase in cell number and size results
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



in an increase in overall size or weight of the body or any of its parts. The processes
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



by which early cells specialize are referred to as differentiation. Psychosocial and
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

,mm cognitive changes are referred to as development. Qualitative changes associated
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



mm with aging are referred to as maturation.

4. The most appropriate response of the nurse when a mother asks what the Denver
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



II does is that it
mm mm mm mm mm



a. can diagnose developmental disabilities.
mm mm mm



b. identifies a need for physical therapy.
mm mm mm mm mm



c. is a developmental screening tool.
mm mm mm mm



d. provides a framework for health teaching.
mm mm mm mm mm




ANS: C mm



The Denver II is the most commonly used measure of developmental status used by
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



health care professionals; it is a screening tool. Screening tools do not provide a
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



diagnosis. Diagnosis requires a thorough neurodevelopment history and physical
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



examination. Developmental delay, which is suggested by screening, is a symptom,
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



not a diagnosis. The need for any therapy would be identified with a comprehensive
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



evaluation, not a screening tool. Some providers use the Denver II as a framework
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



for teaching about expected development, but this is not the primary purpose of the
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



tool.

5. To plan early intervention and care for an infant with Down syndrome, the nurse
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



considers knowledge of other physical development exemplars such as
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



a. cerebral palsy. mm



b. failure to thrive. mm mm



c. fetal alcohol syndrome.
mm mm



d. hydrocephaly.
ANS: D mm



Hydrocephaly is also a physical development exemplar. Cerebral palsy is an exemplar
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



of adaptive developmental delay. Failure to thrive is an exemplar of
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



social/emotional developmental delay. Fetal alcohol syndrome is an exemplar of
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



cognitive developmental delay.

6. To plan early intervention and care for a child with a developmental delay, the
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



nurse would consider knowledge of the concepts most significantly impacted by
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm



development, including
mm mm



a. culture.
b. environment.
c. functional status. mm



d. nutrition.
