MULTIPLE CHOICE m




1. The RN manager of a pediatric clinic could confirm that the new RN recognized the purpose of
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




m the HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile when the new RN responds that it is used to assess for
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




m needs related to
m m




a. anticipatory guidance. m




b. low-risk adolescents. m




c. physical development. m




d. sexual development. m




CORRECT ANS: A m m




Feedback: The HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile is a psychosocial assessment screening tool which
m m m m m m m m m m m m




assesses home, education, activities, drugs, sex, and suicide for the purpose of identifying high-risk
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




m adolescents and the need for anticipatory guidance. It is used to identify high-risk, not low-risk,
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




m adolescents. Physical development is assessed with anthropometric data. Sexual development is
m m m m m m m m m m




m assessed using physical examination.

2. The RN preparing a teaching plan for a preschooler knows that, according to Piaget, the
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




m expected stage of development for a preschooler is
m m m m m m m




a. concrete operational. m




b. formal operational. m




c. preoperational.
d. sensorimotor.


CORRECT ANS: C m m




Feedback: The expected stage of development for a preschooler (3 to 4 years old) is preoperational.
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




Concrete operational describes the thinking of a school-age child (7 to 11 years old). Formal
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m

,describes the thinking of an individual after about 11 years of age. Sensorimotor describes the
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




m earliest 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
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




m development would best describe growth as m m m m m




a. processes by which early cells specialize. m m m m m




b. psychosocial and cognitive changes. m m m




c. qualitative changes associated with aging. m m m m




d. quantitative changes in size or weight. m m m m m




CORRECT ANS: D m m




Feedback: Growth is a quantitative change in which an increase in cell number and size results in
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




an increase in overall size or weight of the body or any of its parts. The processes by which early
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




m cells specialize are referred to asdifferentiation. Psychosocial and cognitive changes are referred
m m m m m m m m m m m




m to as development. Qualitative changes associated with aging are referred to as maturation.

4. The most appropriate response of the RN when a mother asks what the Denver II does is that it
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




a. can diagnose developmental disabilities.
m m m




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




c. is a developmental screening tool.
m m m m




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




CORRECT ANS: C m m




Feedback: The Denver II is the most commonly used measure of developmental status used by
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




m health care professionals; it is a screening tool. Screening tools do not provide a diagnosis.
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




Diagnosis requires a thorough neurodevelopment history and physical examination.
m m m m m m m m m




m Developmental delay, which is suggested by screening, is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The need
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




m for any therapy would be identified with a comprehensive evaluation, not a screening tool. Some
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




m providers use the Denver II as a framework for teaching about expected development, but this is
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




m not the primary purpose of the tool.

5. To plan early intervention and care for an infant with Down syndrome, the RN considers
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




m knowledge of other physical development exemplars such as
m m m m m m m




a. cerebral palsy. m




b. failure to thrive. m m




c. fetal alcohol syndrome.
m m




d. hydrocephaly.


CORRECT ANS: D m m




Feedback: Hydrocephaly is also a physical development exemplar. Cerebral palsy is an exemplar of
m m m m m m m m m m m m m




adaptive developmental delay. Failure to thrive is an exemplar of social/emotional developmental
m m m m m m m m m m m m




m 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
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




m consider knowledge of the concepts most significantly impacted by development, including
m m m m m m m m m m




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




d. nutrition.


CORRECT ANS: C m m




Feedback: Function is one of the concepts most significantly impacted by development. Others
m m m m m m m m m m m m




m include sensory-perceptual, cognition, mobility, reproduction, and sexuality. Knowledge of these
m m m m m m m m m




m concepts can help the RN anticipate areas that need to be addressed. Culture is a concept that is
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




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




m development are those that represent major influencing factors (causes), hence determination of
m m m m m m m m m m m




development and would be the focus of preventive interventions. Environment is considered to

m significantly affect development. Nutrition is considered to significantly affect development.
