,1. When should a child diagnosed with cognitive impairment be referred for stimulation
and educational programs?
a. As young as possible
b. As soon as they have the ability to communicate in some way
c. At age 3 years, when schools are required to provide services
d. At age 5 or 6 years, when schools are required to provide services: ✔✔ ANSW : A The child's education should begin as
soon as possible. Considerable evidence exists
that early-intervention programs for children with disabilities are valuable for cognitively
impaired children. The early intervention may facilitate the child's development of communication skills. States are encouraged to provide early-intervention programs
from birth under Public Law 101-476, the Individuals with Disabilities Act.
2. What is the major consideration when selecting toys for a child who is cognitively impaired?
a. Safety
b. Age appropriateness
c. Ability to provide exercise
d. Ability to teach useful skills: ✔✔ ANSW : A
Safety is the primary concern in selecting recreational and exercise activities for all children. This is especially true for children who
are cognitively impaired. Age appropriateness, the ability to provide exercise, and the ability to teach useful skills are all factors to
consider in the selection of toys, but safety is of paramount importance.
3. Which intervention is focused on facilitating socialization of the cognitively
impaired child?
a. Provide age-appropriate toys and play activities.
b. Provide peer experiences such as Special Olympics when older.
c. Avoid exposure to strangers who may not understand cognitive develop-ment.
d. Emphasize mastery of physical skills because they are delayed more often
, than verbal skills.: ✔✔ ANSW : B
The acquisition of social skills is a complex task. Children of all ages need peer relationships. Parents should enroll the child in
preschool. When older, the child should have peer experiences similar to other children, such as group outings, Boy or Girl Scouts,
and Special Olympics. Providing age-appropriate toys and play activities is important, but peer interactions will facilitate social
development. Parents should expose the child to strangers so the child can practice social skills. Verbal skills are delayed more than
physical skills.
4. A parent whose child has been diagnosed with a cognitive deficit should be counseled
about what fact related to intellectual impairment?
a. Is usually due to a genetic defect.
b. Is likely caused by a variety of factors.
c. Is rarely due to first-trimester events.
d. Is usually caused by parental intellectual impairment.: ✔✔ ANSW : B There are a multitude of
causes for intellectual impairment. In most cases, a specific
cause has not been identified. Only a small percentage of children with intellectual impairment are attected by a genetic defect. One third
of children with intellectual impairment are attected by first-trimester events. Intellectual impairment can be tr ✔✔ ANSW mitted to a
child only if the parent has a genetic disorder.
5. The Glasgow Coma Scale consists of an assessment of what functions?
1. Pupil reactivity and motor response
2. Eye opening and verbal and motor responses
3. Level of consciousness and verbal response
4. Intracranial pressure (ICP) and level of consciousness: ✔✔ ANSW : 2 The Glasgow Coma Scale
assesses eye opening and verbal and motor responses.
Pupil reactivity is not a part of the Glasgow Coma Scale but is included in the pediatric coma scale. Level of consciousness and ICP are
not part of the Glasgow Coma Scale.
6. The nurse, closely monitoring a child who is unconscious after a fall, notices
that the child suddenly has a fixed and dilated pupil. The nurse should inter-
