, 7. Which factor most impacts the type of injury a child is susceptible to, according to the
childs age?
a. Physical health of the child
b. Developmental level of the child
c. Educational level of the child
d. Number of responsible adults in the home
ANS: B
The childs developmental stage determines the type of injury that is likely to occur. The
childs physical health may facilitate the childs recovery from an injury but does not
impact the type of injury. Educational level is related to developmental level, but it is not
as important as the childs developmental level in determining the type of injury. The
number of responsible adults in the home may affect the number of unintentional injuries,
but the type of injury is related to the childs developmental stage.

The new morbidity reflects the behavioral, social, and educational problems that interfere
with the childs social and academic development. It is currently estimated that the
incidence of these issues is from 5% to 30%. Limitations in major activities of daily
living and unintentional injuries that result in chronic health problems are included in
morbidity data. Discovery of new therapies would be reflected in changes in morbidity
data over time.

9. A nurse on a pediatric unit is practicing family-centered care. Which is most
descriptive of the care the nurse is delivering?
a. Taking over total care of the child to reduce stress on the family
b. Encouraging family dependence on health care systems
c. Recognizing that the family is the constant in a childs life
d. Excluding families from the decision-making process
ANS: C
The three key components of family-centered care are respect, collaboration, and support.
Family-centered care recognizes the family as the constant in the childs life. Taking over
total care does not include the family in the process and may increase stress instead of
reducing stress. The family should be enabled and empowered to work with the health
care system. The family is expected to be part of the decision-making process.
