, Chapter 1: Approach To Care And Assessment Of Children And Adolescents
Multiple Choice
1. A Nurse Is Reviewing Developmental Concepts For Infants And Children. Which
Statement Best Describes Development In Infants And Children?
a. Development, A Predictable And Orderly Process, Occurs At Varying
Rates Within Normal Limits.
b. Development Is Primarily Related To The Growth In The Number And Size Of Cells.
c. Development Occurs In A Proximodistal Direction With Fine Muscle
Development Occurring First.
d. Development Is More Easily And Accurately Measured Than Growth.
Ans: A
Development, A Continuous Orderly Process, Provides The Basis For Increases In The
Childs Function And Complexity Of Behavior. The Increases In Rate Of Function And
Complexity Can Vary Normally Within Limits For Each Child. An Increase In The Number
And Size Of Cells Is A Definition For Growth. Development Proceeds In A Proximodistal
Direction With Fine Muscle Organization Occurring As A Result Of Large Muscle
Organization. Development Is A More Complex Process That Is Affected By Many Factors;
Therefore, It Is Less Easily And Accurately Measured. Growth Is A Predictable Process
With Standard Measurement Methods.
2. Frequent Developmental Assessments Are Important For Which Reason?
a. Stable Developmental Periods During Infancy Provide An Opportunity To
Identify Any Delays Or Deficits.
b. Infants Need Stimulation Specific To The Stage Of Development.

, c. Critical Periods Of Development Occur During Childhood.

Genetic Factors (Heredity) Determine Each Individuals Growth And Developmental Rate.
Although Factors Such As Environment, Culture, Nutrition, And Family Can Influence
Genetic Traits, They Do Not Eliminate The Effect Of The Genetic Endowment, Which Is
Permanent. Culture Is A Significant Factor That Influences How Children Grow Toward
Adulthood. Culture Influences Both Growth And Development But Does Not Eliminate
Inborn Genetic Influences. Environment Has A Significant Role In Determining Growth
And Development Both Before And After Birth. The Environment Can Influence How And
To Which Extent Genetic Traits Are Manifested, But Environmental Factors Cannot
Eliminate The Effect Of Genetics. Nutrition Is Critical For Growth And Plays A Significant
Role Throughout Childhood.
4. A Nurse Is Planning A Teaching Session With A Child. According To Piagetian Theory,
The Period Of Cognitive Development In Which The Child Is Able To Distinguish Fact
From Fantasy Is The Period Of Cognitive Development.
