1. The nurse manager of a pediatric clinic could confirm that the new nurse recognized
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
the purpose of the HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile when the new nurse responds that
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
it is used to assess for needs related to
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
a. anticipatory guidance. gg
b. low-risk adolescents. gg
c. physical development. gg
d. sexual development. gg
ANS: A gg
The HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile is a psychosocial assessment screening tool which
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
assesses home, education, activities, drugs, sex, and suicide for the purpose of
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
identifying high-risk adolescents and the need for anticipatory guidance. It is used to
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
identify high-risk, not low-risk, adolescents. Physical development is assessed with
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
anthropometric data. Sexual development is assessed using physical examination.

2. The nurse preparing a teaching plan for a preschooler knows that, according to
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
Piaget, the expected stage of development for a preschooler is
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
a. concrete operational. gg
b. formal operational. gg
c. preoperational.
d. sensorimotor.
ANS: C gg
The expected stage of development for a preschooler (3 to 4 years old) is
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
preoperational. Concrete operational describes the thinking of a school-age child (7 to
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
11 years old). Formal operational describes the thinking of an individual after about 11
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
years of age. Sensorimotor describes the earliest pattern of thinking from birth to 2
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
years old.

3. The school nurse talking with a high school class about the difference between
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
gg growth and development would best describe growth as
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
a. processes by which early cells specialize. gg gg gg gg gg
b. psychosocial and cognitive changes. gg gg gg
c. qualitative changes associated with aging. gg gg gg gg
d. quantitative changes in size or weight. gg gg gg gg gg
ANS: D gg
Growth is a quantitative change in which an increase in cell number and size results in
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
an increase in overall size or weight of the body or any of its parts. The processes by
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
which early cells specialize are referred to as differentiation. Psychosocial and cognitive
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
changes are referred to as development. Qualitative changes associated with aging are

4. The most appropriate response of the nurse when a mother asks what the Denver II
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
does is that it
gg gg gg gg
a. can diagnose developmental disabilities.
gg gg gg
b. identifies a need for physical therapy. gg gg gg gg gg
c. is a developmental screening tool.
gg gg gg gg
d. provides a framework for health teaching. gg gg gg gg gg
ANS: C gg
The Denver II is the most commonly used measure of developmental status used by
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
health care professionals; it is a screening tool. Screening tools do not provide a
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
diagnosis. Diagnosis requires a thorough neurodevelopment history and physical
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
examination. Developmental delay, which is suggested by screening, is a symptom, not
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
a diagnosis. The need for any therapy would be identified with a comprehensive
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
evaluation, not a screening tool. Some providers use the Denver II as a framework for
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
teaching about expected development, but this is not the primary purpose of the tool.

5. To plan early intervention and care for an infant with Down syndrome, the nurse
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
considers knowledge of other physical development exemplars such as
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
a. cerebral palsy. gg
b. failure to thrive. gg gg
c. fetal alcohol syndrome. gg gg
d. hydrocephaly.
ANS: D gg
Hydrocephaly is also a physical development exemplar. Cerebral palsy is an exemplar of
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
adaptive developmental delay. Failure to thrive is an exemplar of social/emotional
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
developmental delay. Fetal alcohol syndrome is an exemplar of cognitive developmental
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
delay.
