CORRECT ANS: C

Positive Predictive Value. If These Behaviors Are Detected, The Pnp Should Refer The Child To A
Specialist For Further Assessment, Using More Diagnostic Tools. The Cars May Be Used But
Requires Specialty Training And Proper Credentials. Until The Diagnosis Is Determined,
Strategies For Intervention Are Not Discussed. The M-Chat Is A Screening Tool And Is Not
Diagnostic.

CORRECT ANS: A
, The Three-Generation Pedigree Is Used To Map Out Risks For Genetic Diseases In Families, As
Well As Conditions With Modifiable Risk Factors. The Review Of Systems Is Used To Evaluate The
History Of The Child's Body Systems. The Genogram Is An Approach To Developing A Family
Database To Provide A Graphic Representation Of Family Structure, Roles, And Problems Of

Developmental Questionnaire, Has Achieved Milestones For A 15-Month-Old Infant. Which
Action Is Correct?
a) Perform An In-Depth Developmental Assessment Screen At This Visit To Evaluate This
Child.

d) Refer The Child To A Specialty Clinic For Evaluation And Treatment Of Developmental
Delay.
CORRECT ANS: A
This Child Should Be At A 19-Month Adjusted Age For Prematurity So, According To The Parent
Screen, Is 4 Months Behind. The Pnp Should Perform A More In-Depth Screen To Evaluate This
Delay. Waiting To See If The Child Will "Catch Up" Or Assuring The Parent That This Will Happen
Will Cause The Delays To Become More Severe. A Referral To A Specialty Clinic Should Not Be
Made Solely On The Basis Of The Parent-Completed Questionnaire But Only After Further
Evaluation Of Possible Delays.
