BSNC 1000 - Module 2 UPDATED ACTUAL
Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
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)
- maturation and ego activity are the primary mechanisms of development
Function of (1) ego and (2) maturation - CORRECT ANSWER - - (1): mediates the
conflicts between the biological needs and societal norms
- (2): establishes the timeline of this mediation
Epigenesis - CORRECT ANSWER - - the developmental results of the mechanisms of ego
and maturation
- successive gradual change
Nursing implications of Erikson's theory - CORRECT ANSWER - - the quality of early
developmental work is important
- the original required trust elements cannot be retrieved (epigenesis) therefore...
