MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which accomplishment would the nurse expect of a healthy 3-year-old child?
a. Jump rope
b. Ride a two-wheel bicycle
c. Skip on alternate feet
d. Balance on one foot for a few seconds - ANSWER ANS: D
Three year olds are able to accomplish the gross motor skill of balancing on one foot. Jumping
rope, riding a two-wheel bike, and skipping on alternate feet are gross motor skills of
5-year-old children.
2. In terms of fine motor development, what could the 3-year-old child be expected to do?
a. Tie shoelaces
b. Use scissors or a pencil very well
c. Draw a person with 7 to 9 parts
d. Copy (draw) a circle. - ANSWER ANS: D
Three-year-olds are able to accomplish the fine motor skill of drawing a circle. Tying
shoelaces, using scissors or a pencil very well, and drawing a person with multiple parts are
fine motor skills of 5-year-old children.
3. In terms of cognitive development, the preschooler would be expected to engage in what
behavior?
a. Use magical thinking
b. Think abstractly
, c. Understand conservation of matter
d. Be able to comprehend another person's perspective - ANSWER ANS: A
Preschoolers' thinking is often described as magical thinking. Because of their egocentrism
and transductive reasoning, they believe that thoughts are all-powerful. Abstract thought does
not develop until school-age years. The concept of conservation is the cognitive task of
school-age children ages 5 to 7 years. Five year olds cannot understand another's perspective.
4. What is descriptive of the preschooler's understanding of time?
a. Has no understanding of time
b. Associates time with events
c. Can tell time on a clock
d. Uses terms like "yesterday" appropriately - ANSWER ANS: B
In a preschooler's understanding, time has a relation with events such as, "We'll go outside
after lunch." Preschoolers develop an abstract sense of time at age 3 years. Children can tell
time on a clock at age 7 years. Children do not fully understand use of time-oriented words
until age 6 years.
5. The nurse is caring for a hospitalized 4 year old. The parents tell the nurse that they will be
back to visit at 6 PM. When the child asks the nurse, "when my parents are coming", what is
the nurse's best response?
a. "They will be here soon."
b. "They will come after dinner."
c. "Let me show you on the clock when 6 PM is."
d. "I will tell you every time I see you how much longer it will be." - ANSWER ANS: B
A 4 year old understands time in relation to events such as meals. Children perceive "soon" as
a very short time. The nurse may lose the child's trust if his parents do not return in the time
he perceives as "soon." Children cannot read or use a clock for practical purposes until age 7
years. This answer assumes that the child understands the concept of hours and minutes,
which is not developed until age 5 or 6 years.
