MULTIPLE CHOICE fg




1. A nurse is reviewing developmental concepts for infants and children. Which statement
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg best describes development in infants and children?
fg fg fg fg fg fg




a. Development, a predictable and orderly process, occurs at varying rates

within normal limits.

b. Development is primarily related to the growth in the number and size of cells.

ANS: A fg




Development, a continuous orderly process, provides the basis for increases in the childs
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg function and complexity of behavior. The increases in rate of function and complexity can
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg vary normally within limits for each child. An increase in the number and size of cells is a
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



definition for growth. Development proceeds in a proximodistal direction with fine muscle
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg organization occurring as a result of large muscle organization. Development is a more
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



complex process that is affected by many factors; therefore, it is less easily and accurately
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg measured. Growth is a predictable process with standard measurement methods.
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg




2. Frequent developmental assessments are important for which reason?
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg




a. Stable developmental periods during infancy provide an opportunity to
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


identify any delays or deficits.
fg fg fg fg fg




b. Infants need stimulation specific to the stage of development.
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg




c. Critical periods of development occur during childhood.

d. Child development is unpredictable and needs monitoring.

ANS: C fg




Critical periods are blocks of time during which children are ready to master specific
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg developmental tasks. Children can master these tasks more easily during particular periods
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg of time in their growth and developmental process. Infancy is a dynamic time of
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg development that requires frequent evaluations to assess appropriate developmental progress.
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg Infants in a nurturing environment will develop appropriately and will not necessarily need
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



stimulation specific to their developmental stage. Normal growth and development are
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg orderly and proceed in a predictable pattern on the basis of each individuals abilities and
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg potentials.

3. Which factor has the greatest influence on child growth and development?
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg




a. Culture

b. Environment

c. Genetics

d. Nutrition


ANS: C fg




Genetic factors (heredity) determine each individuals growth and developmental rate.
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg Although factors such as environment, culture, nutrition, and family can influence genetic
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg traits, they do not eliminate the effect of the genetic endowment, which is permanent.
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg Culture is a significant factor that influences how children grow toward adulthood. Culture
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg influences both growth and development but does not eliminate inborn genetic influences.
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



Environment has a significant role in determining growth and development both before and
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg after birth. The environment can influence how and to which extent genetic traits are
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



manifested, but environmental factors cannot eliminate the effect of genetics. Nutrition is
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg



fg critical for growth and plays a significant role throughout childhood.
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg

fg period of cognitive development in which the child is able to distinguish fact from
