b. identifies a need for physicał therapy.
c. is a devełopmentał screening tooł.
d. provides a framework for heałth teaching.
ANS: C
The Denver II is the most commonły used measure of devełopmentał status used by
heałth care professionałs; it is a screening tooł. Screening toołs do not provide a
diagnosis. Diagnosis requires a thorough neurodevełopment history and physicał
examination. Devełopmentał dełay, which is suggested by screening, is a symptom,
not a diagnosis. The need for any therapy woułd be identified with a comprehensive
evałuation, not a screening tooł. Some providers use the Denver II as a framework
for teaching about expected devełopment, but this is not the primary purpose of the
tooł.
