BSNC 1000 - Module 2 Questions with Complete Solutions
Growth Correct Answer-- quantitative (an increase in cell number and size results in an increase in overall size or weight of the body and its parts)
- indicators: height, weight, teeth, skeletal structures, sexual characteristics
Development Correct Answer-- qualitative (difficult to measure)
- includes growth, maturation and differentiation
- a progressive and continuous process of change leading to increased skill and capacity to function (the result of interactions between biological and environmental influences)
Scope of growth and development Correct Answer-- expected - delayed - advanced
Period of risk for growth and development Correct Answer-- risk of adverse effects during stage of rapid growth and change: embryonic, infant, toddler, preschool, school age, and adolescent stages
Risk factors for growth and development Correct Answer-- prenatal factors - birth factors - individual factors
- family factors - situational factors - determinants of health
- toxic stress
- health status
Characteristics of developmental changes Correct Answer-- continuous and orderly
- head to foot (cephalocaudal - e.g., baby's head) - trunk to extremities (proximodistal)
- simple to complex, general to specific (e.g., larger muscle before smaller muscles)
Factors influencing growth and development Correct Answer-- environment in which the person lives
- genetics - the interaction between these two
Erikson's 8 stages of life Correct Answer-- psychosocial model that covers the entire lifespan - each person goes through 8 stages of development - they need to accomplish a particular task before moving on to the next stage (each stage builds upon the successful resolution of the previous developmental conflict)
