NUR 110 STUDY GUIDE CORE QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS
2025 A+
✔✔Early childhood - ✔✔ages 2 to 5-6 (preschool, gross motor skills)
✔✔Middle to late childhood - ✔✔Ages 6-11 (mastering fundamental skills)
✔✔Adolescence - ✔✔10-12 to 18-21 years (rapid changes)
✔✔Emerging Adulthood - ✔✔18-25 years
✔✔Early Adulthood - ✔✔20's and 30's (personal and economic independence)
✔✔Middle Adulthood - ✔✔40's-60's (reaching maintenance and satisfaction)
✔✔Late Adulthood - ✔✔60's to death
✔✔Research Designs (methods of data/research) - ✔✔Descriptive, Correlational,
Experiment, Experimental group, control group, random assignment
✔✔Descriptive (methods of data/research) - ✔✔observe and record behavior
✔✔Correlational (methods of data/research) - ✔✔describes strength of relationship
between two or more events/characteristic using a correlation scale
(higher correlation= stronger association)
✔✔Experiment (methods of data/research) - ✔✔One or more factors that are
manipulated while all other factors are held constant, demonstrating cause and effect,
and involves dependent and independent variables
✔✔Experimental group (methods of data/research) - ✔✔a group whose experience is
manipulated
✔✔Control Group (methods of data/research) - ✔✔group that is not manipulated
✔✔Random Assignment - ✔✔researchers assign participants to groups by chance
✔✔Time Span research - ✔✔-cross-sectional approach
-longitudinal approach
-cohort effects
✔✔Cross-sectional approach (time span research) - ✔✔compares individuals of
different ages, at one time
, ✔✔Longitudinal approach (time span research) - ✔✔studies the same individuals over a
longer period of time, usually years
✔✔Cohort effects (time span research) - ✔✔variations (ex: time of birth, generation) but
not actual age
✔✔Confidentiality - ✔✔Respecting the privacy of both parties and keeping details
secret, anonymous
✔✔Ethnic gloss - ✔✔Use of an ethnic label such as African American or Latino in a
superficial way that portrays an ethnic group as being more homogeneous than it really
is
✔✔Ethical research - ✔✔informed consent, confidentiality, debriefing, deception
✔✔Informed consent - ✔✔participants involved in experiment must know what's
involved in participation and potential risks
✔✔Down syndrome - ✔✔extra chromosome, physical and mental abnormalities
(treatment: surgery, special learning programs)
✔✔Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) - ✔✔extra X chromosome, physical abnormalities
(treatment: hormone therapy)
✔✔Fragile X Syndrome - ✔✔abnormality in X chromosome, learning disabilities, short
attention span, more common in males
(treatment: special education, speech therapy)
✔✔Turner Syndrome (XO) - ✔✔Missing x chromosome in females, sexual
underdevelopment, math and verbal complications
(treatment: hormone therapy)
✔✔XYY syndrome - ✔✔Extra Y chromosome, can cause above average height
✔✔Cystic Fibrosis - ✔✔genetic disorder causing glandular dysfunction, affecting mucus
production, breathing, digestion, and shortening lifespan (live to middle-age)
(Treatment: oxygen therapy, synthetic enzymes)
✔✔Diabetes - ✔✔Doesn't produce enough insulin, abnormal metabolism of sugar
(Treatment: insulin)
✔✔Hemophilia - ✔✔delayed blood clotting, causing internal and external bleeding
(treatment: blood transfusions)
