MULTIPLE CHOICE ff




1. A nurse is reviewing developmental concepts for infants and children. Which statement best
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff describes development in infants and children?
ff ff ff ff ff




a. Development, a predictable and orderly process, occurs at varying rates within ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


normal limits.
ff ff




b. Development is primarily related to the growth in the number and size of cells. ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff




c. Development occurs in a proximodistal direction with fine muscle development ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


occurring first.
ff ff




d. Development is more easily and accurately measured than growth. ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff




ANS: A ff




Development, a continuous orderly process, provides the basis for increases in the childs
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff function and complexity of behavior. The increases in rate of function and complexity can
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff vary normally within limits for each child. An increase in the number and size of cells is a
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



definition for growth. Development proceeds in a proximodistal direction with fine muscle
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff organization occurring as a result of large muscle organization. Development is a more
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



complex process that is affected by many factors; therefore, it is less easily and accurately
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff measured. Growth is a predictable process with standard measurement methods.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff




2. Frequent developmental assessments are important for which reason?
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff




a. Stable developmental periods during infancy provide an opportunity to
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


identify any delays or deficits.
ff ff ff ff ff




b. Infants need stimulation specific to the stage of development.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff




c. Critical periods of development occur during childhood.

ANS: C ff




Critical periods are blocks of time during which children are ready to master specific
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff developmental tasks. Children can master these tasks more easily during particular periods of
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff time in their growth and developmental process. Infancy is a dynamic time of development
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff that requires frequent evaluations to assess appropriate developmental progress. Infants in a
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



nurturing environment will develop appropriately and will not necessarily need stimulation
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



specific to their developmental stage. Normal growth and development are orderly and proceed
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff in a predictable pattern on the basis of each individuals abilities and potentials.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff




3. Which factor has the greatest influence on child growth and development?
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff




a. Culture

b. Environment

c. Genetics

d. Nutrition


ANS: C ff




Genetic factors (heredity) determine each individuals growth and developmental rate. Although
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff factors such as environment, culture, nutrition, and family can influence genetic traits, they do
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff not eliminate the effect of the genetic endowment, which is permanent. Culture is a significant
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff factor that influences how children grow toward adulthood. Culture influences both growth
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff and development but does not eliminate inborn genetic influences. Environment has a
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



significant role in determining growth and development both before and after birth. The
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff environment can influence how and to which extent genetic traits are manifested, but
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



environmental factors cannot eliminate the effect of genetics. Nutrition is critical for growth
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff and plays a significant role throughout childhood.
ff ff ff ff ff ff




4. A nurse is planning a teaching session with a child. According to Piagetian theory, the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff



ff period of cognitive development in which the child is able to distinguish fact from
ff ff f f f f ff ff ff f f f f ff f f f f f f



f f fantasy is the period of cognitive development.
