NURS 340: Chapter 2 Questions and Answers and Rationale Test Bank
Origin: Chapter 2, 1
1. The nurse is teaching an athletic father how to stimulate his 7-year-old
son who has a'slow-to-warm-up' temperament. Which guidance will be
most successful?
A) Telling him to read stories to the child about famous athletes
B) Suggesting he take the child to watch him play softball
C) Urging him to sign the child up for little league football
D) Proposing wrestling with the child and letting
him winAns: A
Feedback:
Reading stories to the child would be less active and more acceptable to the
child's temperament. Proposing to wrestle with the child and letting him win
or signing the childup for little league football would put the child in an
uncomfortable situation, as would attending his father's adult activities.

2. The nurse is performing a health assessment of a school-age child. Based
on the child'sdevelopmental level, on which problem would the nurse
focus more attention?
A) Infections
B) Poisonings
C) Risk-taking behaviors
D) Accidents and injuries
Ans: D
Feedback:
Developmental level has a major impact on the health status of children.
The physiologic immaturity of an infant's body systems increases the risk for
infection. Ingestion of toxic substances and risk of poisoning are major
health concerns for toddlers as they become more mobile and inquisitive.
Because preschool- and school-age children are, generally, very active, they
are more prone to injury and accidents. Adolescents are establishing their
identity, which may lead them to separate from the family values and
traditions for a period of time and attempt to conform to their peers. This
journey may lead to risk-taking behaviors, resulting in injuries or other

, situations that may impair their health.

difficulty breathing.Which interview question would provide the most
useful information related to the symptoms of the child?

B) Asking about the temperament of the child
C) Asking about the child's diet
D) Asking the parents if they smoke in
the homeAns: D
Feedback:

, Asking the parents if they smoke in the home would provide the most
useful information related to the health condition of the child. If they
smoke, the nurse could explain that they are affecting their child's health
and urge them to stop for her sake. Asking about the temperament of the
child and inquiring about home safety or diet would not reveal any useful
information related to the respiratory alteration.

resiliency in this child?
A) His ability to take control of his own decisions
B) His ability to accept his own limitations
C) His caring relationship with members of his family
D) His knowledge of when to continue or stop with goal
achievementAns: C
Feedback:
The term resilience refers to the qualities that enable an individual to cope
with significant adverse events or stresses and still function competently
(Lietz, 2007). Various internal and external protective factors promote
resiliency. External factors include caringrelationships with a family
member; a positive, safe learning environment at school (including clubs
and social organizations); and positive influences in the community.
Internal factors include the person's ability to take control and be
proactive, to be responsible for his or her own decisions, to understand and
accept his or her own limitsand abilities, and to be goal directed, knowing
when to continue or when to stop.
