Rationales
Instructions: This exam contains 200 multiple-choice questions covering all 19 chapters
of Health, Safety, and Nutrition for the Young Child, 11th Edition by Lynn R. Marotz. Each
question has one best answer. Correct answers are bolded, followed by a rationale and
chapter reference. The textbook is organized into four units: Unit I: Promoting Children's
Health (Chapters 1–6), Unit II: Keeping Children Safe (Chapters 7–11), Unit III: Foods and
,Nutrients (Chapters 12–14), and Unit IV: Nutrition and the Young Child (Chapters 15–19)
.
Unit I: Promoting Children's Health: Healthy Lifestyles and
Health Concerns
Chapter 1: Children's Well-Being: What It Is and How to Achieve It
1. Health is primarily a state of physical well-being.
A) True
B) False
Rationale: A person's state of health involves more than physical well-being. Health
encompasses physical, emotional, social, economic, cultural, and spiritual wellness .
2. Current definitions of health recognize that individuals must take a proactive
role in reducing their risk of chronic disease.
A) True
B) False
Rationale: An individual's lifestyle choices have a significant immediate and long-term
effect on their health and potential development of chronic diseases .
3. A teacher's knowledge of developmental norms plays an important role in the
prevention of children's unintentional injuries.
A) True
B) False
Rationale: Teachers create safe learning activities and environments when they
understand children's typical skills and abilities at a given age .
,4. During the first six months, an infant can be expected to grow almost one inch
in length per month.
A) True
B) False
Rationale: An infant's birth length increases by approximately 50 percent during the
first year. The most rapid growth occurs during the first 6 months .
5. Two-year-olds can be expected to play cooperatively with one another.
A) True
B) False
Rationale: Most toddlers play by themselves (solitary play) and engage in onlooker and
parallel play. Young children do not typically begin to play together cooperatively until
age three or four .
6. Norms are skills that children should be able to demonstrate at a specific age.
A) True
B) False
Rationale: Developmental norms identify milestones when the majority of children are
able to perform a given skill. There is a wide range of normalcy—some children will
demonstrate the skill earlier and some will do so later .
7. Oral hygiene practices should be implemented as soon as a child's permanent
teeth have erupted.
A) True
B) False
, Rationale: Oral hygiene practices should be initiated during early infancy and continued
forever. Tooth buds are present in the infant's gums and must be cared for by wiping
the gums after each feeding to prevent cavity formation .
8. Children's social-emotional competence can have a direct effect on their state of
well-being.
A) True
B) False
Rationale: Social-emotional competence affects all dimensions of health, including
physical, spiritual, and cultural well-being .
9. The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child model establishes health
and safety regulations that schools must follow.
A) True
B) False
Rationale: The WSCC model acknowledges the critical effect that children's health has
on learning. The plan assumes an ecological approach and encourages collaboration
among schools, families, agencies, and community partners in meeting children's health,
safety, and academic needs to promote learning .
10. A child who suffers from depression may be indecisive, exhibit uncontrollable
anger, and/or have difficulty sleeping.
A) True
B) False
Rationale: These behaviors are common signs of childhood depression. Additional signs
may include apathy, loss of appetite, frequent complaints of illness, and poor self-
esteem .
