The Denver II is the most commonly used measure of developmental status used by healthcare
i.i i.i i. i i .i i. i i.i i.i i. i i.i i .i i.i i. i i. i i .i

professionals; itis a screeningtool. Screeningtools do notprovideadiagnosis. Diagnosis requires a

thorough neurodevelopment history and physical examination.
i.i i .i i.i i. i i. i i.i

Developmental delay, which is suggested by screening,is a symptom, nota diagnosis. The need for i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i

any therapy would be identifiedwith a comprehensive evaluation, not a screening tool. Some
i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i

providers use the Denver II as a framework for teaching about expected development, but this is
i.i i .i i.i i. i i. i i. i i .i i .i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i .i

not the primary purpose of the tool.

sensory-perceptual, cognition, mobility, reproduction, and sexuality. Knowledge of these
i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i

concepts can help the nurse anticipate areas that need to be addressed. Culture is a concept that is
i.i i.i i. i i.i i .i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i .i i .i i. i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i

considered to significantly affect development; the difference is the concepts that affect
i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i. i i.i i.i i. i

development are those that represent major influencing factors (causes); hence determination of
i.i i.i i.i i. i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i

development would be the focus of preventive interventions. Environment is considered to
i.i i.i i.i i.i i .i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i. i

significantly affect development. Nutrition is considered to significantly affect development.

toys and makes up stories. The mother wants her child to have a psychological evaluation. The
i.i i.i i.i i. i i .i i .i i. i i.i i .i i.i i.i i .i i. i i. i i.i i.i

nurse’s best initial response is to
i.i i. i i. i i.i i.i i.i

a. referthechild to a psychologist immediately. i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i

b. explain thatplaying makebelieveis normal at this age. i.i i.i i.i i. i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i

d. separatethe child from the mother toget moreinformation. i. i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i. i.i i.

ANS: B i . i

i.i i. i i.i i.i i. i i. i i.i i. i i. i i.i i.i i.i i. i i.i i. i.i i.

Completingadevelopmental screeningwouldbe very appropriate but not the initial response. The
i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i. i i.i i.i i .i i. i i.i i.i

nurse would certainly want to get more information, but separating the child from the mother is not
i.i i.i i. i i.i i. i i. i i.i i. i i.i i.i i.i i.i i. i i.i i .i i.i i.i

necessary at this time.

i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i. i

needy and acting like a child. The best response of the nurse is that in the hospital, adolescents

b. rebelagainst rules. i. i.i

c. regressbecauseofstress. i. i. i.

d. want to know everything. i.i i.i i.i

ANS: C i . i

Regression to an earlier stage of development is a common response to stress. Separation anxiety i.i i. i i. i i.i i.i i .i i.i i.i i.i i.i i. i i. i i.i i.i

is most common in infants and toddlers. Rebellion against hospital rules is usually not an issue if

the adolescentunderstandsthe rulesand wouldnot createchildlikebehaviors. An adolescent may
i. i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i. i. i.i i. i i.i

want to “know everything” with their logical thinking and deductive reasoning, but that would
i.i i .i i. i i .i i.i i. i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i i.i

not explain why they would act like a child.
