a. processes by which early cells specialize.
b. psychosocial and cognitive changes.
c. qualitative changes associated with aging.

ANS: D
Growth is a quantitative change in which an increase in cell number and size results in an increase
in overall size or weight of the body or any of its parts. The processes by which early cells
specialize are referred to asdifferentiation. Psychosocial and cognitive changes are referred to as
development. Qualitative changes associated with aging are referred to as maturation.

The Denver II is the most commonly used measure of developmental status used by health care
professionals; it is a screening tool. Screening tools do not provide a diagnosis. Diagnosis requires a
thorough neurodevelopment history and physical examination. Developmental delay, which is
suggested by screening, is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The need for any therapy would be identified
with a comprehensive evaluation, not a screening tool. Some providers use the Denver II as a
framework for teaching about expected development, but this is not the primary purpose of the tool.

Hydrocephaly is also a physical development exemplar. Cerebral palsy is an exemplar of adaptive
developmental delay. Failure to thrive is an exemplar of social/emotional developmental delay.
Fetal alcohol syndrome is an exemplar of cognitive developmental delay.
