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



the purpose of the HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile when the new nurse responds that
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de



it is used to assess for needs related to
de de de de de de de de de



a. anticipatory guidance. de



b. low-risk adolescents. de



c. physical development. de



d. sexual development. de




ANS: d e A
The HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile is a psychosocial assessment screening tool which
de de de de de de de de de de de



assesses home, education, activities, drugs, sex, and suicide for the purpose of
de de de de de de de de de de de de



identifying high-risk adolescents and the need for anticipatory guidance. It is used to
de de de de de de de de de de de de de



identify high- risk, not low-risk, adolescents. Physical development is assessed with
de de d e de de de de de de de de



anthropometric data. Sexual development is assessed using physical examination.

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



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



a. concrete operational. de



b. formal operational. de



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



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



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



11 years old).
de de de



Formal operational describes the thinking of an individual after about 11 years of age.
de de de de de de de de de de de de de



Sensorimotor describes the earliest pattern of thinking from birth to 2 years old.

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



de growth and development would best describe growth as
de de de de de de de



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



b. psychosocial and cognitive changes. de de de



c. qualitative changes associated with aging. de de de de



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




ANS: D d e



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



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



which early cells specialize are referred to as differentiation. Psychosocial and cognitive
de de de de de de de de de de de de



changes are referred to as development. Qualitative changes associated with aging are
de de de de de de de de de de de de



referred to as maturation.

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



II does is that it
de de de de de



a. can diagnose developmental disabilities.
de de de



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



c. is a developmental screening tool.
de de de de



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




ANS: C d e



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



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



diagnosis.
de



Diagnosis requires a thorough neurodevelopment history and physical examination.
de de de de de de de de



Developmental delay, which is suggested by screening, is a symptom, not a diagnosis.
de de de de de de de de de de de de de



The need for any therapy would be identified with a comprehensive evaluation, not a
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de



d screening tool. Some providers use the Denver II as a framework for teaching about
e de de de de de de de de de de de de de



expected development, but this is not the primary purpose of the tool.

5. To plan early intervention and care for an infant with Downxsyndrome, the
de de de de de de de de de de de



nurse considers knowledge of other physical development exemplars such as
de de de de de de de de de de



a. cerebral palsy. de



b. failure to thrive. de de



c. fetal alcohol syndrome. de de



d. hydrocephaly.
ANS: D d e



Hydrocephaly is also a physical development exemplar. Cerebral palsy is an exemplar of
de de de de de de de de de de de de



adaptive developmental delay. Failure to thrive is anxexemplar of social/emotional
de de de de de de de de de de



developmental delay. Fetal alcohol syndrome is an exemplar of cognitive developmental
de de de de de de de de de de de



delay.

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



would considerxknowledgexof the concepts most significantly impacted by
de de ed de de de de de de



development, including
de de



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



d. nutrition.
ANS: C d e

, Function is one of the concepts most significantly impacted by development. Others
de de de de de de de de de de de



d include sensory-perceptual, cognition, mobility, reproduction, and sexuality.
e de de de de de de



Knowledge of these concepts can help the nurse anticipate areas that need to be
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de



addressed. Culture is a concept that is considered to significantly affect development;
de de de de de de de de de de de de



the difference is the concepts that affect development are those that represent major
de de de de de de de de de de de de de



influencing factors (causes), hence determination of development and would be the
de de de de de de de de de de de



focus of preventive interventions. Environment is considered to significantly affect
de de de de de de de de de de



development. Nutrition is considered to significantly affect development.

7. A mother complains to the nurse at the pediatric clinic that her 4-year-old child always
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de



detalks to her toys and makes up stories. The mother wants her child to have a
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de



depsychologic evaluation. de



The nurse’s best initial response is to
de de de de de de



a. refer the child to a psychologist. de de de de de



b. explain that playing make believe with dolls and people is normal at this age.
de de de de de de de de de de de de de



c. complete a developmental screening. de de de



d. separate the child from the mother to get more information.
de de de de de de de de de




ANS: B d e



By the end of the fourth year, it is expected that a child willxengage in fantasy,xsoxthis is
de de de de de de de de de de de de de ed de de ed ed de



normal at this age. A referral to a psychologist would bexpremature based only on the
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de



complaint of the mother. Completing a developmentalxscreening wouldxbexvery
de de de de de de de de



appropriate but not the initial response. The nursexwould certainly want xto get more
de de de de de de de de de de de de de



information, but separating the child from the mother is not necessary at this time.

8. A 17-year-old girl is hospitalized for appendicitis, and herxmother asks the nurse why she
de de de de de de de de de de de de de



deis so needy and acting like a child. Thexbest responsexofxthexnurse is that in the hospital,
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de



deadolescents
a. have separation anxiety. de de



b. rebel against rules. de de



c. regress because of stress. de de de



d. want to know everything. de de de




ANS: C d e



Regression to an earlier stage of development is a common response to stress.
de de de de de de de de de de de de



Separation anxiety is mostxcommon in infants and toddlers. Rebellion against hospital
de de de de de de de de de de de de



rules is usually notxan issuexif the adolescent understands the rules and would not
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de



create childlike behaviors. An adolescent xmay want to “know everything” with their
de de de de de de de de de de de de



logical thinking and deductive reasoning,xbut that would not explain why they would act
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de



like a child.
