2. The most appropriate response of the nurse when a mother asks what the Denver II

does is that it


a. can diagnose developmental disabilities.

b. identifies a need for physical therapy.

c. is a developmental screening tool.

d. provides a framework for health teaching.



ANS: C


The Denver II is the most commonly used measure of developmental status used by
health care professionals; it is a screening tool. Screening tools do not provide a
diagnosis. Diagnosis requires a thorough neurodevelopment history and physical
examination. Developmental delay, which is suggested by screening, is a symptom,
not a diagnosis. The need for any therapy would be identified with a comprehensive
evaluation, not a screening tool. Some providers use the Denver II as a framework
for teaching about expected development, but this is not the primary purpose of the
tool.

d. nutrition.



ANS: C


Function is one of the concepts most significantly impacted by development. Others
include sensory-perceptual, cognition, mobility, reproduction, and sexuality.
Knowledge of these concepts can help the nurse anticipate areas that need to be
addressed. Culture is a concept that is considered to significantly affect development;
the difference is the concepts that affect development are those that represent major
influencing factors (causes), hence determination of development and would be the
focus of preventive interventions. Environment is considered to significantly affect
development. Nutrition is considered to significantly affect development.
