d. sensorimotor.
ANS: C C C


The expected stage of development for a preschooler (3–4 years old) is pre-

operational. Concrete operational describes the thinking of a school-age child (7–
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


11 years old). Formal operational describes the thinking of an individual after about 11
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC C


years of age. Sensorimotor describes the earliest pattern of thinking from birth to 2 ye

3. The school nurse talking with a high school class about the difference between growt

h and development would best describe growth as

b. psychosocial and cognitive changes. CC CC CC


c. qualitative changes associated with aging. CC CC CC CC


d. quantitative changes in size or weig CC CC CC CC CC

, Growth is a quantitative change in which an increase in cell number and size results
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


in an increase in overall size or weight of the body or any of its parts. The processe
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


s by which early cells specialize are referred to as differentiation. Psychosocial and c

ognitive changes are referred to as development. Qualitative changes associated with a

4. The most appropriate response of the nurse when a mother asks what the Denver II
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


does is that it CC CC CC


a. can diagnose developmental disabilities.
CC CC CC


b. identifies a need for physical therapy. CC CC CC CC CC


c. is a developmental screening tool.
CC CC CC CC


d. provides a framework for health teaching. CC CC CC CC CC




ANS: C C C


The Denver II is the most commonly used measure of developmental status used by h
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


ealthcare professionals; it is a screening tool. Screening tools do not provide a diagnosi
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


s. Diagnosis requires a thorough neurodevelopment history and physical examination.
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


Developmental delay, which is suggested by screening, is a symptom, not a diagnosis.
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


The need for any therapy would be identified with a comprehensive evaluation, not a s
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


creening tool. Some providers use the Denver II as a framework for teaching about ex
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


pected development, but this is not the primary purpose of the tool.

5. To plan early intervention a n Nd care for an infant with Down syndrome, the nurse cons

iders knowledge of other physical development exemplars such as
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


a. cerebral palsy. CC


b. autism.
c. attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). CC CC


d. failure to thrive. CC CC




ANS: D C C


Failure to thrive is also a physical development exemplar. Cerebral palsy is an exempl

ar of motor/developmental delay. Autism is an exemplar of social/emotional developm

ental delay. ADHD is an exemplar of a cognitive disorder.

6. To plan early intervention and care for a child with a developmental delay, the nurse
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC C


would consider knowledge of the concepts most significantly impacted by developme
C CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


nt, including
CC


a. culture.
b. environment.
c. functional status. CC


d. nutrition.
CC ANS: C C C

, Function is one of the concepts most significantly impacted by development. Others in
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


clude sensory- CC


perceptual, cognition, mobility, reproduction, and sexuality. Knowledge of these conce
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


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


that is considered to significantly affect development; the difference is the concepts t

7. A mother complains to the nurse at the pediatric clinic that her 4-year-
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


old child always talks to her toys and makes up stories. The mother wants her child t
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


o have a psychological evaluation. The nurse’s best initial response is to
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


a. refer the child to a psychologist immediately.
CC CC CC CC CC CC


b. explain that playing make believe is normal at this age.
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


c. complete a developmental screening using a validated tool.
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


d. separate the child from the mother to get more information.
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC




ANS: B C C


By the end of the fourth year, it is expected that a child will engage in fantasy, so thi
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


s is normal at this age. A referral to a psychologist would be premature based only on
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


the complaint of the mother. Completing a developmental screening would be very ap
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


propriate but not the initial response. The nurse would certainly want to get more info
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


rmation, but separating the child from the mother is not necessary at this time.

8. A 17-year-
CC


old girl is hospitalized for appendicitis, and her mother asks the nurse why she is so
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


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


adolescents
a. have separation anxiety. CC CC


b. rebel against rules. CC CC


c. regress because of stress. CC CC CC


d. want to know everything. CC CC CC




ANS: C C C


Regression to an earlier stage of development is a common response to stress. Separat
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


ion anxiety is most common in infants and toddlers. Rebellion against hospital rules is
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


CCusually not an issue if the adolescent understands the rules and would not create child
CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC


like behaviors. An adolescent may want to “know everything” with their logical thinki
