Question 1 Pediatric Growth & Development
According to Piaget, what cognitive stage characterizes children ages 2-7 years?
Sensorimotor stage
A
B Preoperational stage
Concrete operational stage
C
Formal operational stage
D
Rationale
The preoperational stage (ages 2-7) is characterized by egocentric thinking, symbolic play, and inability to
understand conservation. Children in this stage think magically and have difficulty seeing others' perspectives.
, Question 2 Pediatric Growth & Development
What is the expected weight gain for an infant during the first 6 months?
A 2-4 ounces per week
B 5-7 ounces per week
10-12 ounces per week
C
1 pound per month
D
Rationale
Infants typically gain 5-7 ounces per week during the first 6 months, doubling their birth weight by 4-6 months.
This rapid growth rate slows in the second 6 months of life.
Question 3 Pediatric Growth & Development
Which developmental milestone is expected at 12 months of age?
Sitting without support
A
Walking independently
B
Running
C
D Jumping
Rationale
Walking independently is typically achieved around 12 months (range 9-15 months). Sitting without support occurs
around 6-8 months, running around 18-24 months, and jumping around 2-3 years.
, Question 4 Pediatric Growth & Development
What is Erikson's psychosocial stage for toddlers (1-3 years)?
A Trust vs. Mistrust
B Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt
C Initiative vs. Guilt
D Industry vs. Inferiority
Rationale
Toddlers (1-3 years) are in the Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt stage. They develop independence through toilet
training, self-feeding, and exploring. Success leads to confidence; failure leads to shame and doubt.
Question 5 Pediatric Growth & Development
At what age do children typically begin to understand conservation?
A 2-3 years
B 4-5 years
C 7-11 years
D 12+ years
Rationale
Conservation (understanding that quantity remains the same despite changes in appearance) develops during the
concrete operational stage (7-11 years). Younger children typically cannot understand this concept.
, Question 6 Family-Centered Pediatric Care
What is the primary principle of family-centered care?
A Healthcare providers make all decisions
B Families are recognized as experts on their children and partners in care
C Parents should not be present during procedures
D Care should focus only on the child
Rationale
Family-centered care recognizes families as experts on their children and essential partners in care decisions. This
approach improves outcomes, satisfaction, and reduces family stress during hospitalization.
Question 7 Family-Centered Pediatric Care
What is the benefit of allowing parents to stay during procedures?
A Increases procedure time
B Reduces child anxiety and improves cooperation
C Interferes with staff work
D Has no effect on outcomes
Rationale
Parental presence during procedures reduces child anxiety, improves cooperation, and provides comfort. Research
shows this does not interfere with procedures and can improve overall experience for child and family.
