1. A nurse is reviewing developmental concepts for infants and children. Which statement
kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp
kp best describes development in infants and children?
kp kp kp kp kp kp
a. Development, a predictable and orderly process, occurs at varying rates
kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp
within normal limits.

ANS: A kp
Development, a continuous orderly process, provides the basis for increases in the childs
kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp
kp function and complexity of behavior. The increases in rate of function and complexity can
kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp
kp vary normally within limits for each child. An increase in the number and size of cells is
kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp
a definition for growth. Development proceeds in a proximodistal direction with fine
kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp
kp muscle organization occurring as a result of large muscle organization. Development is a
kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp
kp more complex process that is affected by many factors; therefore, it is less easily and
kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp
kp accurately measured. Growth is a predictable process with standard measurement
kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp
kp methods.
2. Frequent developmental assessments are important for which reason?
kp kp kp kp kp kp kp
a. Stable developmental periods during infancy provide an opportunity to
kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp
identify any delays or deficits.
kp kp kp kp kp
b. Infants need stimulation specific to the stage of development.
kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp
c. Critical periods of development occur during childhood.

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

kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp kp
kp period of cognitive development in which the child is able to distinguish fact from fantasy

is the
