Chapter 1: Approach To Care And Assessment Of Children And Adolescents
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A Nurse Is Reviewing Developmental Concepts For Infants And Children.
Which Statement Best Describes Development In Infants And Children?
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.
c. Development Occurs In A Proximodistal Direction With Fine Muscle
Development Occurring First.
d. Development Is More Easily And Accurately Measured Than Growth.
ANSWER: A
Development, A Continuous Orderly Process, Provides The Basis For Increases In
The Childs Function And Complexity Of Behavior. The Increases In Rate Of
Function And Complexity Can Vary Normally Within Limits For Each Child. An
Increase In The Number And Size Of Cells Is A Definition For Growth. Development
Proceeds In A Proximodistal Direction With Fine Muscle Organization Occurring As
A Result Of Large Muscle Organization. Development Is A More Complex Process
That Is Affected By Many Factors; Therefore, It Is Less Easily And Accurately
Measured. Growth Is A Predictable Process With Standard Measurement Methods.
2. Frequent Developmental Assessments Are Important For Which Reason?
a. Stable Developmental Periods During Infancy Provide An Opportunity To
Identify Any Delays Or Deficits.
b. Infants Need Stimulation Specific To The Stage Of Development.

d. Nutrition
ANSWER: C
Genetic Factors (Heredity) Determine Each Individuals Growth And Developmental
Rate. Although Factors Such As Environment, Culture, Nutrition, And Family Can
Influence Genetic Traits, They Do Not Eliminate The Effect Of The Genetic
Endowment, Which Is Permanent. Culture Is A Significant Factor That Influences
How Children Grow Toward Adulthood. Culture Influences Both Growth And
Development But Does Not Eliminate Inborn Genetic Influences. Environment Has
A Significant Role In Determining Growth And Development Both Before And After
Birth. The Environment Can Influence How And To Which Extent Genetic Traits
Are Manifested, But Environmental Factors Cannot Eliminate The Effect Of
Genetics. Nutrition Is 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 Period Of Cognitive Development In Which The Child Is Able To
Distinguish Fact From Fantasy Is The Period Of Cognitive Development.
