1. The mother of a 3-month-old baby is concerned because the child is not able to sit independently.
What should the nurse respond to this mother's concern?
A) Most babies sit steadily at 3 months.
B) Most babies sit steadily at 4 months.
C) Most babies do not sit steadily until 8 months.
D) Sitting ability and the age of first tooth eruption are correlated. - ANSWER-Ans: C
Feedback:
An 8-month-old child can sit securely without any additional support. Babies are not able to sit steadily
at age 3 or 4 months. Sitting ability does not correspond with tooth eruption.
1. The nurse is identifying outcomes for a family with a preschool-age child who has broken fluency.
Which outcome would be the most appropriate for this family?
A) The parents will not call attention to the child's broken fluency.
B) The mother will encourage the child to practice speaking in the home.
C) The other children will help the child by finishing words and sentences.
D) The mother will correct the child only when other family members are absent. - ANSWER-Ans: A
Feedback:
Calling attention to broken fluency can make the situation worse. The child should not be encouraged
to speak if he or she does not want to. The parents should intercept any children who desire to finish
the child with broken fluency's words or sentences. The child should not be punished or corrected for
broken fluency because this is a normal part of speech development.

Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals to reduce respiratory illness in
children by teaching children to avoid cigarette smoking, ways to help avoid respiratory infections such
as good hand washing, and reminding parents to come for child health maintenance visits so that
children can receive pneumococcal immunization or screening for tuberculosis, as appropriate. Activity
and nutrition are not identified as interventions to reduce the risk of respiratory illness in children.

focus when performing this evaluation?
A) Appetite
B) Current weight
C) Change in height
D) Ability to perform a skill - ANSWER-Ans: D
Feedback:
Development is measured by observing a child's ability to perform specific skills. Growth is used to
denote an increase in physical size such as height and weight. Appetite is not used to evaluate growth or
development.

Toothbrushing can begin even before teeth erupt by rubbing a soft washcloth over the gum pads. This
eliminates plaque and reduces the presence of bacteria, creating a clean environment for the arrival of
first teeth. Dental care should begin before the age of 12 months, before solid food is eaten, and before
the first tooth appears.
10. During an assessment, a preschool-age child tells the nurse about having 12 siblings. The nurse is
aware that the child has two older brothers. What should the nurse respond to this child?
A) "I guess you don't know much about counting yet."
B) "Don't lie to me. That's never a nice thing to do to someone."
C) "Does it make you feel more important when you add on brothers?"
D) "That is a good pretend answer but tell me the names of the brothers you really have." - ANSWER-
Ans: D
Feedback:
Stretching stories to make them seem more interesting is a phenomenon frequently encountered in
preschoolers. This kind of storytelling should not be encouraged. The child should be helped to separate
fact from fiction. The nurse should ask the child to say the names of the brothers the child really has.
The nurse should not insult the child's counting ability. The nurse should not accuse the child of lying or
making the child seem more important by having more brothers.
10. The mother of a toddler is frustrated because the toddler insists on brushing his own teeth and being
left alone in the bathtub. What advice should the nurse provide to the mother about these
expectations?
A) Helping with toothbrushing encourages autonomy.
B) It is unusual for a 2-year-old to have such strong opinions.
C) The mother should continue to give full care in all aspects.
D) Leaving alone in the bathtub is a good way to encourage autonomy. - ANSWER-Ans: A
Feedback:
Toddlers need a toothbrush they recognize as their own. Toward the end of the toddler period, they
can begin to do the brushing themselves under supervision; although, almost all children need some
supervision until about age 8 years. It is not unusual for a toddler to have opinions and want to do things
themselves. The mother needs to permit the child to perform autonomous acts with supervision. The
child is too young to be permitted in the bathtub alone. This is a safety hazard.
