, 7. Which factor most impacts the type of injury a child is susceptible to, according to the
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




childs age?
u u




a. Physical health of the child u u u u




b. Developmental level of the child u u u u




c. Educational level of the child u u u u




d. Numberofresponsibleadultsin thehome u u u u bu u




ANS: B
u u




The childs developmental stage determines the type of injury that is likely to occur. The
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




childs physical health may facilitate the childs recovery from an injury but does not impact
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




the type of injury. Educational level is related to developmental level, but it is not as
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




important as the childs developmental level in determining the type of injury.
u u u u u u u u u u u u




The number of responsible adults in the home may affect the number of unintentional injuries,
u u u u u b u u u u u u u u u




but the type of injury is related to the childs developmental stage.

u u u u u u u u u u b u




with the childs social and academic development. It is currently estimated that the incidence
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




of these issues is from 5% to 30%. Limitations in major activities of daily living and
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




unintentional injuries that result in chronic health problems are included in morbidity data.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u




Discovery of new therapies would be reflected in changes in morbidity data over time.

9. Anurse on a pediatric unit is practicing family-centered care.Which is most
u u u u u u u b u u u u




descriptive of the care the nurse is delivering?
u u u u u u u u




a. Taking over total care of the child to reduce stress on the family
u u u u u u u u u u b u u




b. Encouraging family dependence on health care systems u u u u u u




c. Recognizing that the family is the constant in a childs life u b u u u u u u b u u u




d. Excludingfamiliesfromthedecision-making process u u u u bu




ANS: C
u u




The three key components of family-centered care are respect, collaboration, and support.
u u u u u u u u u u u




Family-centered care recognizes the family as the constant in the childs life. Taking over
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




total care does not include the family in the process and may increase stress instead of
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




reducing stress. The family should be enabled and empowered to work with the health care
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




system. The family is expected to be part of the decision-making process.
