, 7. Which factor most impacts the type of injury a child is susceptible to, according to the
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
childs age?
x x
a. Physical health of the child x x x x
b. Developmental level of the child x x x x
c. Educational level of the child x x x x
d. Number of responsible adults in the home x x x x x x
ANS: B
x x
The childs developmental stage determines the type of injury that is likely to occur. The
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
childs physical health may facilitate the childs recovery from an injury but does not
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
impact the type of injury. Educational level is related to developmental level, but it is not
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
as important as the childs developmental level in determining the type of injury. The
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
number of responsible adults in the home may affect the number of unintentional injuries,
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
but the type of injury is related to the childs developmental stage.

a. Limitations in the major activities of daily living x x x x x x x

c. Discoveries of new therapies to treat health problems x x x x x x x

with the childs social and academic development. It is currently estimated that the
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
incidence of these issues is from 5% to 30%. Limitations in major activities of daily
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
living and unintentional injuries that result in chronic health problems are included in
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
morbidity data. Discovery of new therapies would be reflected in changes in morbidity
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
data over time.

9. A nurse on a pediatric unit is practicing family-centered care. Which is most
x x x x x x x x x x x x
descriptive of the care the nurse is delivering?
x x x x x x x x
a. Taking over total care of the child to reduce stress on the family
x x x x x x x x x x x x
b. Encouraging family dependence on health care systems x x x x x x
c. Recognizing that the family is the constant in a childs life x x x x x x x x x x
d. Excluding families from the decision-making process x x x x x
ANS: C
x x
The three key components of family-centered care are respect, collaboration, and support.
x x x x x x x x x x x
Family-centered care recognizes the family as the constant in the childs life. Taking over
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
total care does not include the family in the process and may increase stress instead of
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
reducing stress. The family should be enabled and empowered to work with the health
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
care system. The family is expected to be part of the decision-making process.
