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