Chapter KJ’1: KJ’Approach KJ’to KJ’Care KJ’and KJ’Assessment KJ’of KJ’Children KJ’and KJ’Adolescents

MULTIPLE KJ’CHOICE

1. A KJ’nurse KJ’is KJ’reviewing KJ’developmental KJ’concepts KJ’for KJ’infants KJ’and KJ’children. KJ’Which
statement KJ’best KJ’describes KJ’development KJ’in KJ’infants KJ’and KJ’children?
KJ’




a. Development, KJ’a KJ’predictable KJ’and KJ’orderly KJ’process, KJ’occurs KJ’at KJ’varying KJ’rates KJ’within
KJ’normal KJ’limits.



b. Development KJ’is KJ’primarily KJ’related KJ’to KJ’the KJ’growth KJ’in KJ’the KJ’number KJ’and KJ’size KJ’of KJ’cells.
c. Development KJ’occurs KJ’in KJ’a KJ’proximodistal KJ’direction KJ’with KJ’fine KJ’muscle KJ’development
KJ’occurring KJ’first.



d. Development KJ’is KJ’more KJ’easily KJ’and KJ’accurately KJ’measured KJ’than KJ’growth.


ANS: KJ’A

Development, KJ’a KJ’continuous KJ’orderly KJ’process, KJ’provides KJ’the KJ’basis KJ’for KJ’increases KJ’in KJ’the
childs KJ’function KJ’and KJ’complexity KJ’of KJ’behavior. KJ’The KJ’increases KJ’in KJ’rate KJ’of KJ’function KJ’and
KJ’


KJ’ complexity KJ’can KJ’vary KJ’normally KJ’within KJ’limits KJ’for KJ’each KJ’child. KJ’An KJ’increase KJ’in KJ’the
number KJ’and KJ’size KJ’of KJ’cells KJ’is KJ’a KJ’definition KJ’for KJ’growth. KJ’Development KJ’proceeds KJ’in KJ’a
KJ’


KJ’ proximodistal KJ’direction KJ’with KJ’fine KJ’muscle KJ’organization KJ’occurring KJ’as KJ’a KJ’result KJ’of KJ’large
KJ’ muscle KJ’organization. KJ’Development KJ’is KJ’a KJ’more KJ’complex KJ’process KJ’that KJ’is KJ’affected KJ’by
KJ’ many KJ’factors; KJ’therefore, KJ’it KJ’is KJ’less KJ’easily KJ’and KJ’accurately KJ’measured. KJ’Growth KJ’is KJ’a
KJ’ predictable KJ’process KJ’with KJ’standard KJ’measurement KJ’methods.

2. Frequent KJ’developmental KJ’assessments KJ’are KJ’important KJ’for KJ’which KJ’reason?

a. Stable KJ’developmental KJ’periods KJ’during KJ’infancy KJ’provide KJ’an KJ’opportunity KJ’to KJ’identify
KJ’any KJ’delays KJ’or KJ’deficits.



b. Infants KJ’need KJ’stimulation KJ’specific KJ’to KJ’the KJ’stage KJ’of KJ’development.

c. Critical KJ’periods KJ’of KJ’development KJ’occur KJ’during KJ’childhood.

d. Child KJ’development KJ’is KJ’unpredictable KJ’and KJ’needs KJ’monitoring.

ANS: KJ’C

Critical KJ’periods KJ’are KJ’blocks KJ’of KJ’time KJ’during KJ’which KJ’children KJ’are KJ’ready KJ’to KJ’master
KJ’ specific KJ’developmental KJ’tasks. KJ’Children KJ’can KJ’master KJ’these KJ’tasks KJ’more KJ’easily KJ’during
particular KJ’periods KJ’of KJ’time KJ’in KJ’their KJ’growth KJ’and KJ’developmental KJ’process. KJ’Infancy KJ’is KJ’a
KJ’

,KJ’ dynamic KJ’time KJ’of KJ’development KJ’that KJ’requires KJ’frequent KJ’evaluations KJ’to KJ’assess KJ’appropriate
KJ’ developmental KJ’progress. KJ’Infants KJ’in KJ’a KJ’nurturing KJ’environment KJ’will KJ’develop KJ’appropriately
KJ’ and KJ’will KJ’not KJ’necessarily KJ’need KJ’stimulation KJ’specific KJ’to KJ’their KJ’developmental KJ’stage.
KJ’ Normal KJ’growth KJ’and KJ’development KJ’are KJ’orderly KJ’and KJ’proceed KJ’in KJ’a KJ’predictable KJ’pattern
KJ’ on KJ’the KJ’basis KJ’of KJ’each KJ’individuals KJ’abilities KJ’and KJ’potentials.

3. Which KJ’factor KJ’has KJ’the KJ’greatest KJ’influence KJ’on KJ’child KJ’growth KJ’and KJ’development?

a. Culture

b. Environment

c. Genetics
d. Nutrition


ANS: KJ’C

Genetic KJ’factors KJ’(heredity) KJ’determine KJ’each KJ’individuals KJ’growth KJ’and KJ’developmental KJ’rate.
KJ’ Although KJ’factors KJ’such KJ’as KJ’environment, KJ’culture, KJ’nutrition, KJ’and KJ’family KJ’can KJ’influence
genetic KJ’traits, KJ’they KJ’do KJ’not KJ’eliminate KJ’the KJ’effect KJ’of KJ’the KJ’genetic KJ’endowment, KJ’which KJ’is
KJ’


KJ’ permanent. KJ’Culture KJ’is KJ’a KJ’significant KJ’factor KJ’that KJ’influences KJ’how KJ’children KJ’grow KJ’toward
KJ’ adulthood. KJ’Culture KJ’influences KJ’both KJ’growth KJ’and KJ’development KJ’but KJ’does KJ’not KJ’eliminate
KJ’ inborn KJ’genetic KJ’influences. KJ’Environment KJ’has KJ’a KJ’significant KJ’role KJ’in KJ’determining KJ’growth
KJ’ and KJ’development KJ’both KJ’before KJ’and KJ’after KJ’birth. KJ’The KJ’environment KJ’can KJ’influence KJ’how
KJ’ and KJ’to KJ’which KJ’extent KJ’genetic KJ’traits KJ’are KJ’manifested, KJ’but KJ’environmental KJ’factors KJ’cannot
KJ’ eliminate KJ’the KJ’effect KJ’of KJ’genetics. KJ’Nutrition KJ’is KJ’critical KJ’for KJ’growth KJ’and KJ’plays KJ’a
KJ’ significant KJ’role KJ’throughout KJ’childhood.

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

a. sensorimotor

b. formal KJ’operations

c. concrete KJ’operations

d. preoperational


ANS: KJ’C

Concrete KJ’operations KJ’is KJ’the KJ’period KJ’of KJ’cognitive KJ’development KJ’in KJ’which KJ’childrens
KJ’ thinking KJ’is KJ’shifted KJ’from KJ’egocentric KJ’to KJ’being KJ’able KJ’to KJ’see KJ’anothers KJ’point KJ’of KJ’view.
KJ’ They KJ’develop KJ’the KJ’ability KJ’to KJ’distinguish KJ’fact KJ’from KJ’fantasy. KJ’The KJ’sensorimotor KJ’stage
KJ’ occurs KJ’in KJ’infancy KJ’and KJ’is KJ’a KJ’period KJ’of KJ’reflexive KJ’behavior. KJ’During KJ’this KJ’period, KJ’the

, KJ’ infants KJ’world KJ’becomes KJ’more KJ’permanent KJ’and KJ’organized. KJ’The KJ’stage KJ’ends KJ’with KJ’the
KJ’ infant KJ’demonstrating KJ’some KJ’evidence KJ’of KJ’reasoning. KJ’Formal KJ’operations KJ’is KJ’a KJ’period KJ’in
KJ’ development KJ’in KJ’which KJ’new KJ’ideas KJ’are KJ’created KJ’through KJ’previous KJ’thoughts. KJ’Analytic
KJ’ reason KJ’and KJ’abstract KJ’thought KJ’emerge KJ’in KJ’this KJ’period. KJ’The KJ’preoperational KJ’stage KJ’is KJ’a
KJ’ period KJ’of KJ’egocentrism KJ’in KJ’which KJ’the KJ’childs KJ’judgments KJ’are KJ’illogical KJ’and KJ’dominated
KJ’ by KJ’magical KJ’thinking KJ’and KJ’animism.

5. The KJ’theorist KJ’who KJ’viewed KJ’developmental KJ’progression KJ’as KJ’a KJ’lifelong KJ’series KJ’of
KJ’ conflicts KJ’that KJ’need KJ’resolution KJ’is:

a. Erikson.

b. Freud.

c. Kohlberg.

d. Piaget.


ANS: KJ’A

Erik KJ’Erikson KJ’viewed KJ’development KJ’as KJ’a KJ’series KJ’of KJ’conflicts KJ’affected KJ’by KJ’social KJ’and
KJ’ cultural KJ’factors. KJ’Each KJ’conflict KJ’must KJ’be KJ’resolved KJ’for KJ’the KJ’child KJ’to KJ’progress
emotionally, KJ’with KJ’unsuccessful KJ’resolution KJ’leaving KJ’the KJ’child KJ’emotionally KJ’disabled.
KJ’


KJ’ Sigmund KJ’Freud KJ’proposed KJ’a KJ’psychosexual KJ’theory KJ’of KJ’development KJ’in KJ’which KJ’certain
KJ’ parts KJ’of KJ’the KJ’body KJ’assume KJ’psychological KJ’significance KJ’as KJ’foci KJ’of KJ’sexual KJ’energy. KJ’The
KJ’ foci KJ’shift KJ’as KJ’the KJ’individual KJ’moves KJ’through KJ’the KJ’different KJ’stages KJ’(oral, KJ’anal, KJ’phallic,
KJ’ latency, KJ’and KJ’genital) KJ’of KJ’development. KJ’Lawrence KJ’Kohlberg KJ’described KJ’moral
KJ’ development


as KJ’having KJ’three KJ’levels KJ’(preconventional, KJ’conventional, KJ’and KJ’postconventional). KJ’His KJ’theory
KJ’ closely KJ’parallels KJ’Piagets. KJ’Jean KJ’Piagets KJ’cognitive KJ’theory KJ’interprets KJ’how KJ’children KJ’learn
KJ’ and KJ’think KJ’and KJ’how KJ’this KJ’thinking KJ’progresses KJ’and KJ’differs KJ’from KJ’adult KJ’thinking. KJ’Stages
KJ’ of KJ’his KJ’theory KJ’include KJ’sensorimotor, KJ’preoperations, KJ’concrete KJ’operations, KJ’and KJ’formal
KJ’ operations.

6. What KJ’does KJ’the KJ’nurse KJ’need KJ’to KJ’know KJ’when KJ’observing KJ’chronically KJ’ill KJ’children KJ’at
KJ’play?




a. Play KJ’is KJ’not KJ’important KJ’to KJ’hospitalized KJ’children.

b. Children KJ’need KJ’to KJ’have KJ’structured KJ’play KJ’periods.

c. Childrens KJ’play KJ’is KJ’an KJ’indication KJ’of KJ’a KJ’childs KJ’response KJ’to KJ’treatment.
