walk up and down stairs when holding onto a railing, and name
,simple objects like a cat or a dog. Waving or shaking their head
no is appropriate for a 1-year-old. A 4-year-old is likely to name
the colors of objects, whereas a 2-year-old may be able to sort
objects by color.

good indicator of their development. Most 6-year-olds are
beginning to read short books, sound out unfamiliar words, and
can describe a favorite activity, TV show, or movie. They are
,learning to write and may be able to write their name. Most 4-
year-olds can hop on one foot.

List the history and physical exam items in the order the NP
should perform them from first to last:
Examine Sofia's eyes
Examine Sofia's ears
Conduct a health history of both siblings
Palpate Sofia's abdomen
Complete Steven's physical exam Correct Answer Step 1:
Conduct a health history of both siblings
Step 2: Complete Steven's physical exam
Step 3: Examine Sofia's eyes
Step 4: Palpate Sofia's abdomen
Step 5: Examine Sofia's ears
Rationale: The NP should first conduct a health history of both
siblings and establish rapport. Next, the NP should examine the
older child to facilitate a more cooperative exam with the younger
child. When examining Sofia, the NP should conduct as much of
, the exam with the child in the parent's lap as possible and
examine the least distressing areas such as the eyes first. Then
the NP may perform tasks that require laying on the exam table,
such as palpating the abdomen. The NP should examine the most
distressing areas, such as the ears, last.
