MULTIPLE CHOICE n
1. A nurse is reviewing developmental concepts for infants and children. Which statement best
n n n n n n n n n n n n
n describes development in infants and children?
n n n n n
a. Development, a predictable and orderlyprocess, occurs at varying rates n n n n n n n n n
within normal limits.
n n n
b. Development is primarily related to the growth in the number and size of cells. n n n n n n n n n n n n n
c. Development occurs in a proximodistal direction with fine muscle n n n n n n n n
development occurring first.
n n n
d. Development is more easily and accurately measured than growth. n n n n n n n n
ANS: A n
Development, a continuous orderly process, provides the basis for increases in the childs
n n n n n n n n n n n n
function and complexity of behavior. The increases in rate of function and complexitycan
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
vary normally within limits for each child. An increase in the number and size of cells is a
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
n definition for growth. Development proceeds in a proximodistal direction with fine
n n n n n n n n n n
muscle organization occurring as a result of large muscle organization. Development is a
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
more complex process that is affected by many factors; therefore, it is less easily and
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
accurately measured. Growth is a predictable process with standard measurement
n n n n n n n n n n
n methods.
2. Frequent developmental assessments are important for which reason?
n n n n n n n
a. Stable developmental periods during infancyprovide an opportunityto
n n n n n n n n
identify any delays or deficits.
n n n n n
b. Infants need stimulation specific to the stage of development.
n n n n n n n n
c. Critical periods of development occur during childhood.
n n n n n n
d. Child development is unpredictable and needs monitoring.

ANS: C n
Critical periods are blocks of time during which children are ready to master specific
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
developmental tasks. Children can master these tasks more easily during particular periods
n n n n n n n n n n n n
of time in their growth and developmental process. Infancy is a dynamic time of
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
development that requires frequent evaluations to assess appropriate developmental progress.
n n n n n n n n n n
n Infants in a nurturing environment will develop appropriately and will not necessarily need
n n n n n n n n n n n n
stimulation specific to their developmental stage. Normal growth and development are
n n n n n n n n n n n
orderly and proceed in a predictable pattern on the basis of each individuals abilities and
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
potentials.

3. Which factor has the greatest influence on child growth and development?
n n n n n n n n n n
a. Culture
b. Environment
c. Genetics
d. Nutrition
ANS: C n
Genetic factors (heredity) determine each individuals growth and developmental rate.
n n n n n n n n n
n Although factors such as environment, culture, nutrition, and family can influence genetic
n n n n n n n n n n n
n traits, they do not eliminate the effect of the genetic endowment, which is permanent.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
Culture is a significant factor that influences how children grow toward adulthood. Culture
n n n n n n n n n n n n
influences both growth and development but does not eliminate inborn genetic influences.
n n n n n n n n n n n n
Environment has a significant role in determining growth and development both before and
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
after birth. The environment can influence how and to which extent genetic traits are
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
manifested, but environmental factors cannot eliminate the effect of genetics. Nutrition is
n n n n n n n n n n n n
critical for growth and plays a significant role throughout childhood.

4. A nurse is planning a teaching session with a child. According to Piagetian theory, the
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
period of cognitive development in which the child is able to distinguish fact from fantasy

is the
