MULTIPLE CHOICE y




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


purpose of the HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile when the new nurse responds that it is
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


used to assess for needs related to
y y y y y y y


a. anticipatory guidance. y


b. low-risk adolescents. y


c. physical development. y


d. sexual development. y




ANS: A y


The HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile is a psychosocial assessment screening tool which
y y y y y y y y y y y


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


high-risk adolescents and the need for anticipatory guidance. It is used to identify high-
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


yrisk, not low-risk, adolescents. Physical development is assessed with anthropometric data.
y y y y y y y y y y


Sexual development is assessed using physical examination.

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


the expected stage of development for a preschooler is
y y y y y y y y y


a. concrete operational. y


b. formal operational. y


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


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


Concrete operational describes the thinking of a school-age child (7 to 11 years old).
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


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


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 growth
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


y and development would best describe growth as
y y y y y y


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


b. psychosocial and cognitive changes. y y y


c. qualitative changes associated with aging. y y y y


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




ANS: D y


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


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


early cells specialize are referred to as differentiation. Psychosocial and cognitive changes
y y y y y y y y y y y y


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


as maturation.

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


ydoes is that it y y y


a. can diagnose developmental disabilities.
y y y


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


c. is a developmental screening tool.
y y y y


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




ANS: C y


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


care professionals; it is a screening tool. Screening tools do not provide a diagnosis.
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


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


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


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


yscreening tool. Some providers use the Denver II as a framework for teaching about
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


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 nurse
y y y y y y y y y y y y


y considers knowledge of other physical development exemplars such as
y y y y y y y y


a. cerebral palsy. y


b. failure to thrive. y y


c. fetal alcohol syndrome. y y


d. hydrocephaly.
ANS: D y


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


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


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


delay.

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


yinclude sensory-perceptual, cognition, mobility, reproduction, and sexuality. Knowledge
y y y y y y y


of these concepts can help the nurse anticipate areas that need to be addressed. Culture
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


is a concept that is considered to significantly affect development; the difference is the
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


concepts that affect development are those that represent major influencing factors
y y y y y y y y y y y


(causes), hence determination of development and would be the focus of preventive
y y y y y y y y y y y y


interventions. Environment is considered to significantly affect development. Nutrition is
y y y y y y y y y y


considered to significantly affect development.

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


yto her toys and makes up stories. The mother wants her child to have a psychologic
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


yevaluation.
The nurse’s best initial response is to
y y y y y y


a. refer the child to a psychologist.y y y y y


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


c. complete a developmental screening. y y y


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




ANS: B y


By the end of the fourth year, it is expected that a child will xengage in fantasy,xsoxthis is
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


ynormal at this age. A referral to a psychologist would bexpremature based only on the
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


ycomplaint of the mother. Completing a developmental screening wouldxbexvery
y y y y y y y y


yappropriate but not the initial response. The nursexwould certainly want xto get more
y y y y y y y y y y y y


yinformation, but separating the child from the mother is notxnecessary at this time.

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


so needy and acting like a child. Thexbest responsexofxthe nurse is that in the hospital,
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


adolescents
y


a. have separation anxiety. y y


b. rebel against rules. y y


c. regress because of stress. y y y


d. want to know everything. y y y




ANS: C y


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


anxiety is most xcommon inxinfants and toddlers. Rebellion against hospital rules is usually
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


notxan issue xif the adolescent xunderstands the rules and would not create childlike
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


behaviors. An adolescent xmay want to “know everything” with their logical thinking and
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


deductive reasoning,xbut that would not explain why they would act like a child.
