HESI: Growth & Development EAQQuestions and answers
What is true about the instrumental relativist orientation stage? - answer
An individual recognizes that there is more than one correct point of view.
The mother of a 2-year-old girl expresses concern that her daughter's
growth rate has slowed. What should the nurse explain to the mother
about the growth of toddlers? - answer This growth pattern is typical at
this age.
Rationale: As the child gets older, growth slows. Toddlers develop
physiologic anorexia because their appetite decreases along with their
growth rate.
Which symptoms present in a child indicate Turner syndrome? Select all
that apply. - answer a. Webbed neck
b. Low position of posterior hairline
c. Shield-shaped chest with wide space between the nipples
Rationale: Turner syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality seen in females
which an X chromosome is partly or completely absent. The clinical
manifestations of TS include a webbed neck, low posterior hairline, and a
shield-shaped chest with wide space between the nipples.
The nurse is assessing an 8-month-old child's grade motor development.
Which action by the child indicates late development? - answer The child
is unable to stand by holding onto furniture.
Rationale: At 8 months of age the child should be able to stand by holding
onto furniture, because the child readily bears weight on the legs when
supported. When a child is 10 months old, the child can change from a
prone to a sitting position. When a child is 12 months old, the child is able
to sit down from a standing position without any help. When a child is at
, least 9 months old, the child can sit steadily on the floor for a prolonged
period of time.
When should the nurse anticipate that the school-age client will have all
primary teeth? - answer 6 years of age.
Rationale: The nurse anticipates that the school-age client will have all
primary teeth by the age of 6 years. The nurse would not anticipate this
for a 5-year-old client. The nurse would anticipate that the 7-an 8-year-old
client will begin losing primary teeth; therefore, these clients would not
have all of their primary teeth.
What is the expected average weight for a 6-month-old child? - answer
7.26 kg (16lbs)
At what age does a child start to crawl? - answer 9 months
Which physiologic body functions decrease in response to certain pubertal
changes? Select all that apply. - answer a. Pulse rate
b. Basal heat production
rationale: pulse rate and basal heat production decrease as physiologic
changes occur. BV, strength of heart, and systolic BP increase as changes
occur during puberty.
At which age should the nurse assess the school-age client for master of
the concept of conservation of volume? - answer 9 years
rationale: mastery occurs between 9 and 12 years; therefore, the nurse
would include this in the assessment for the 9-year-old school-age client.
What is the longest time after birth that the Apgar test is conducted for
the second time? - answer 5 minutes
