MULTIPLE CHOICE fy
1. The RN manager of a pediatric clinic could confirm that the new RN recognized the purpose of the
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile when the new RN responds that it is used to assess for needs
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy related to fy
a. anticipatory guidance. fy
b. low-risk adolescents. fy
c. physical development. fy
d. sexual development. fy
CORRECT ANS: A fy fy
Feedback: The HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile is a psychosocial assessment screening tool which
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
assesses home, education, activities, drugs, sex, and suicide for the purpose of identifying high-risk
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy adolescents and the need for anticipatory guidance. It is used to identify high-risk, not low-risk,
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy adolescents. Physical development is assessed with anthropometric data. Sexual development is
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy assessed using physical examination.fy fy fy

2. The RN preparing a teaching plan for a preschooler knows that, according to Piaget, the
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy expected stage of development for a preschooler is
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
a. concrete operational. fy
b. formal operational. fy
c. preoperational.
d. sensorimotor.
CORRECT ANS: C fy fy
Feedback: The expected stage of development for a preschooler (3 to 4 years old) is preoperational.
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
Concrete operational describes the thinking of a school-age child (7 to 11 years old). Formal
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
,describes the thinking of an individual after about 11 years of age. Sensorimotor describes the earliest
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy pattern of thinking from birth to 2 years old.

3. The school RN talking with a high school class about the difference between growth and
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy development would best describe growth as fy fy fy fy fy
a. processes by which early cells specialize. fy fy fy fy fy
b. psychosocial and cognitive changes. fy fy fy
c. qualitative changes associated with aging. fy fy fy fy
d. quantitative changes in size or weight. fy fy fy fy fy
CORRECT ANS: D fy fy
Feedback: Growth is a quantitative change in which an increase in cell number and size results in an
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
increase in overall size or weight of the body or any of its parts. The processes by which early cells
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy specialize are referred to asdifferentiation. Psychosocial and cognitive changes are referred to as
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy development. Qualitative changes associated with aging are referred to as maturation.fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy

4. The most appropriate response of the RN when a mother asks what the Denver II does is that it
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
a. can diagnose developmental disabilities.
fy fy fy
b. identifies a need for physical therapy. fy fy fy fy fy
c. is a developmental screening tool.
fy fy fy fy
d. provides a framework for health teaching. fy fy fy fy fy
CORRECT ANS: C fy fy
Feedback: The Denver II is the most commonly used measure of developmental status used by health
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy care professionals; it is a screening tool. Screening tools do not provide a diagnosis. Diagnosis requires
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
a thorough neurodevelopment history and physical examination. Developmental delay, which is
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy suggested by screening, is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The need for any therapy would be identified
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy with a comprehensive evaluation, not a screening tool. Some providers use the Denver II as a
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy framework for teaching about expected development, but this is not the primary purpose of the tool.

5. To plan early intervention and care for an infant with Down syndrome, the RN considers
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy knowledge of other physical development exemplars such as
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
a. cerebral palsy. fy
b. failure to thrive. fy fy
c. fetal alcohol syndrome. fy fy
d. hydrocephaly.
CORRECT ANS: D fy fy
Feedback: Hydrocephaly is also a physical development exemplar. Cerebral palsy is an exemplar of
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
adaptive developmental delay. Failure to thrive is an exemplar of social/emotional developmental
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy delay.
Fetal alcohol syndrome is an exemplar of cognitive developmental delay.

6. To plan early intervention and care for a child with a developmental delay, the RN would
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy consider knowledge of the concepts most significantly impacted by development, including
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
a. culture.
b. environment.
c. functional status. fy
d. nutrition.
CORRECT ANS: C fy fy
Feedback: Function is one of the concepts most significantly impacted by development. Others
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy include sensory-perceptual, cognition, mobility, reproduction, and sexuality. Knowledge of these
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy concepts can help the RN anticipate areas that need to be addressed. Culture is a concept that is
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy considered to significantly affect development; the difference is the concepts that affect development
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy are those that represent major influencing factors (causes), hence determination of development and
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
would be the focus of preventive interventions. Environment is considered to significantly affect
fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy fy
fy development. Nutrition is considered to significantly affect development.
