therefore, this finding would indicate the need for further intervention by the nurse. It is expected the
that 5-year-old client will be able to name coins correctly, tie shoe laces independently, and have
established hand dominance; therefore, this data does not indicate the need for further intervention.
According to Freud's theory, in what order do the stages of child development occur?
1. Anal
2. Oral
3. Genital
4. Oedipal
5. Latency - (answer) 2, 1, 4, 5, 3
Freud's theory sets forth five stages of child development. The oral stage (stage 1) spans the period from
birth to 12 to 18 months. The anal stage (stage 2) occurs between the ages of 18 months and 3 years.
The Oedipal stage (stage 3) occurs between 3 and 6 years of age. The latency stage (stage 4) occurs
between the ages of 6 and 12 years. Finally, the genital stage (stage 5) lasts from puberty through
adulthood.
Which period of Piaget's theory describes the idea of object permanence?
1 Sensorimotor period
2 Preoperational period
3 Formal operations period
4 Concrete operations period - (answer) 1
,EVOLVE HESI PEDS NEWEST 2024 TEST BANK COMPLETE 400 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS
There are four periods of Piaget's theory of cognitive development. The first period is the sensorimotor
period; this period describes object permanence. During the ages of birth to 2 years old, the child
understands that objects continue to exist even when they are not visible. The second period is the
preoperational period, which is observed in children between the ages of 2 and 7 years. During this time,
children learn to think about the use of symbols and have mental images. The third period is the
concrete operations period, which is observed between the ages of 7 and 11 years. During this period,
the child thinks about an action before performing it. The formal operations period is the fourth period,
which is observed in children from the ages of 11 years old throughout adulthood. During this period,
there is a prevalence of egocentric thought
A nurse is educating a group of mothers about the nutritional needs of toddlers. Which of these
statements made by a mother indicate the need for further teaching? Select all that apply.
1 "I need to give more than 24 ounces of milk per day."
2 "I should provide more calories from fats than proteins."
3 "I should refrain from giving grapes, nuts, and raw vegetables."
4 "I should give foods rich in calcium and phosphorus for healthy bone growth."
5 "I should try to give small, frequent meals consisting of breakfast, lunch, and dinner." - (answer) 1, 2
Toddlers who consume more than 24 ounces of milk daily in place of other foods may develop milk
anemia, because milk is a poor source of iron. A toddler needs more protein than fats in the diet. Certain
foods, such as nuts, grapes, and raw vegetables, as well as hot dogs, candy, and popcorn, have been
implicated in choking deaths and should be avoided. Calcium and phosphorus are important for healthy
bone growth. Small frequent meals consisting of breakfast, lunch, and dinner with three interspersed
high nutrient-dense snacks help improve nutritional intake.
How many words should the nurse expect the 3-year-old child to acquire each day?
1. 2 to 3
2. 5 to 6
3. 8 to 10
4. 11 to 13 - (answer) 2. 5-6 words
, EVOLVE HESI PEDS NEWEST 2024 TEST BANK COMPLETE 400 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS
The nurse would expect the 3-year-old toddler-age child to acquire 5 to 6 new words each day. Two to 3
new words, 8 to 10 new words, and 11 to 13 new words are not expected parameters for language
development.
Which data should the nurse anticipate when conducting a developmental assessment for a 5-year-old
client? Select all that apply.
1 Names coins correctly
2 Has a vocabulary of 1500 words
3 Participates in parallel play
4 Ties shoe laces independently
5 Has hand dominance established - (answer) 1, 4, 5
When conducting a developmental assessment for a 5-year-old client, the nurse anticipates the client to
be able to name coins correctly, tie shoe laces independently, and have established hand dominance. A
vocabulary of 1500 words would indicate a language delay; the 5-year-old client is expected to have a
vocabulary of 2100 words. Participation is associative, not parallel play, and is expected by 5 years of age.
Which activities will the nurse suggest to the parents of a preschool-age child to enhance fine motor
skills? Select all that apply.
1 Using scissors
2 Riding a bicycle
3 Throwing a ball
4 Tying shoe laces
5 Playing with clay - (answer) 1, 4, 5
The nurse should suggest using scissors, tying shoe laces, and playing with clay as activities that are
appropriate for a preschool-age client to enhance fine motor skills. Riding a bicycle and throwing a ball
are age-appropriate activities to enhance gross, not fine, motor skills for the preschool-age client.
