MULTIPLE CHOICE f
1. A nurse is reviewing developmental concepts for infants and children. Which statement best
f f f f f f f f f f f f
describes development in infants and children?
f f f f f f
a. Development, a predictable and orderly process, occurs at varying rates within f f f f f f f f f f
normal limits.
f f
b. Development is primarily related to the growth in the number and size of cells. f f f f f f f f f f f f f
c. Development occurs in a proximodistal direction with fine muscle development f f f f f f f f f
occurring first.
f f
d. Development is more easily and accurately measured than growth. f f f f f f f f
ANS: A f
Development, a continuous orderly process, provides the basis for increases in the childs
f f f f f f f f f f f f
function and complexity of behavior. The increases in rate of function and complexity can vary
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
normally within limits for each child. An increase in the number and size of cells is a definition
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
for growth. Development proceeds in a proximodistal direction with fine muscle organization
f f f f f f f f f f f f
occurring as a result of large muscle organization. Development is a more complex process that is
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
affected by many factors; therefore, it is less easily and accurately measured. Growth is a
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
predictable process with standard measurement methods.
f f f f f f
2. Frequent developmental assessments are important for which reason?
f f f f f f f
a. Stable developmental periods during infancy provide an opportunity to identify
f f f f f f f f f
any delays or deficits.
f f f f
b. Infants need stimulation specific to the stage of development.
f f f f f f f f
c. Critical periods of development occur during childhood.
f f f f f f
d. Child development is unpredictable and needs monitoring.

ANS: C f
Critical periods are blocks of time during which children are ready to master specific
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
developmental tasks. Children can master these tasks more easily during particular periods of time
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
in their growth and developmental process. Infancy is a dynamic time of development that requires
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
frequent evaluations to assess appropriate developmental progress. Infants in a nurturing
f f f f f f f f f f f
environment will develop appropriately and will not necessarily need stimulation specific to their
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
developmental stage. Normal growth and development are orderly and proceed in a predictable
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
pattern on the basis of each individuals abilities and potentials.
f f f f f f f f f f
3. Which factor has the greatest influence on child growth and development?
f f f f f f f f f f
a. Culture
b. Environment
c. Genetics
d. Nutrition
ANS: C f
Genetic factors (heredity) determine each individuals growth and developmental rate. Although
f f f f f f f f f f
factors such as environment, culture, nutrition, and family can influence genetic traits, they do not
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
eliminate the effect of the genetic endowment, which is permanent. Culture is a significant factor
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
that influences how children grow toward adulthood. Culture influences both growth and
f f f f f f f f f f f f
development but does not eliminate inborn genetic influences. Environment has a significant role
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
in determining growth and development both before and after birth. The environment can
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
influence how and to which extent genetic traits are manifested, but environmental factors cannot
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
eliminate the effect of genetics. Nutrition is critical for growth and plays a significant role
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
throughout childhood.

4. A nurse is planning a teaching session with a child. According to Piagetian theory, the period of
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
cognitive development in which the child is able to distinguish fact from fantasy is the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f period of cognitive development.
