1. The nurse manager of a pediatric clinic could confirm that the new nurse recognized the
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic
purpose of the HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile when the new nurse responds that it is
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic
used to assess for needs related to
ci ci ci ci ci ci
a. anticipatory guidance. ci
b. low-risk adolescents. ci
c. physical development. ci
d. sexual development. ci
ANS: A c i
The HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile is a psychosocial assessment screening tool which a
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
ssesses home, education, activities, drugs, sex, and suicide for the purpose of identifying hi
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
gh-risk adolescents and the need for anticipatory guidance. It is used to identify high-
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
risk,not low-risk, adolescents. Physical development is assessed with anthropometric data.

2. The nurse preparing a teaching plan for a preschooler knows that, according to Piaget, the
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic
expected stage of development for a preschooler is
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
a. concrete operational. ci
b. formal operational. N ci
c. preoperational.
d. sensorimotor.
ANS: C c i
The expected stage of development for a preschooler (3–4 years old) is pre-
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
operational. Concrete operational describes the thinking of a school-age child (7–
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
11 years old). Formal operational describes the thinking of an individual after about 11 year
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
s of age. Sensorimotordescribes the earliest pattern of thinking from birth to 2 years old.

3. The school nurse talking with a high school class about the difference between growth and
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic
development would best describe growth as ci ci ci ci ci
a. processes by which early cells specialize. ci ci ci ci ci
b. psychosocial and cognitive changes. ci ci ci
c. qualitative changes associated with aging. ci ci ci ci

, Growth is a quantitative change in which an increase in cell number and size results in an i
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
ncrease in overall size or weight of the body or any of its parts. The processes by which ear
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
ly cells specialize are referred to as differentiation. Psychosocial and cognitive changes are
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci c
referred to as development. Qualitative changes associated with aging are referred to asmat

4. The most appropriate response of the nurse when a mother asks what the Denver II does is
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic
that it ci
a. can diagnose developmental disabilities.
ci ci ci
b. identifies a need for physical therapy. ci ci ci ci ci
c. is a developmental screening tool.
ci ci ci ci
d. provides a framework for health teaching. ci ci ci ci ci
ANS: C c i
The Denver II is the most commonly used measure of developmental status used by healt
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
hcare professionals; it is a screening tool. Screening tools do not provide a diagnosis.Diag
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic
nosis requires a thorough neurodevelopment history and physical examination.
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
Developmental delay, which is suggested by screening, is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Theci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic
need for any therapy would be identified with a comprehensive evaluation, not a screening
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic
tool. Some providers use the Denver II as a framework for teaching about expected develo
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
pment, but this is not the primary purpose of the tool.

5. To plan early intervention anN
ci d care for an infant with Down syndrome, the nurse considers
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
knowledge of other physical development exemplars such asci ci ci ci ci ci ci
a. cerebral palsy. ci
b. autism.
c. attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ci ci
d. failure to thrive. ci ci
ANS: D c i
Failure to thrive is also a physical development exemplar. Cerebral palsy is an exemplar of
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic
motor/developmental delay. Autism is an exemplar of social/emotional developmental dela ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
y. ADHD is an exemplar of a cognitive disorder.

6. To plan early intervention and care for a child with a developmental delay, the nurse would
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic
consider knowledge of the concepts most significantly impacted by development, including
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
a. culture.
b. environment.
c. functional status. ci
d. nutrition. ic
ANS: C c i
, Function is one of the concepts most significantly impacted by development. Others include
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic
sensory-
perceptual, cognition, mobility, reproduction, and sexuality. Knowledge of these concepts c
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
an help the nurse anticipate areas that need to be addressed. Culture is a concept that is cons
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
idered to significantly affect development; the difference is the concepts that affect develop
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
ment are those that represent major influencing factors (causes); hence determination of dev
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
elopment would be the focus of preventive interventions. Environment is considered to sign
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
ificantly affect development. Nutrition is considered to significantly affect development.

7. A mother complains to the nurse at the pediatric clinic that her 4-year-
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
old child always talksto her toys and makes up stories. The mother wants her child to have a
ci ci ci ic ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci c
psychological evaluation. The nurse‘s best initial response is to
i ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
a. refer the child to a psychologist immediately. ci ci ci ci ci ci
b. explain that playing make believe is normal at this age. ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
c. complete a developmental screening using a validated tool. ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
d. separate the child from the mother to get more information. ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
ANS: B c i
By the end of the fourth year, it is expected that a child will engage in fantasy, so this is nor
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
mal at this age. A referral to a psychologist would be premature based only on the complain
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
t of the mother. Completing a developmental screening would be very appropriatebut not th
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic ci ci
e initial response. The nurse would certainly want to get more information, but separating t
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
he child from the mother is not necessary at this time.

8. A 17-year-ci
old girl is hospitalized for appendicitis, and her mother asks the nurse why she isso needy a
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic ci ci
nd acting like a child. The best response of the nurse is that in the hospital, adolescents
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
a. have separation anxiety. ci ci
b. rebel against rules. ci ci
c. regress because of stress. ci ci ci
d. want to know everything. ci ci ci
ANS: C c i
Regression to an earlier stage of development is a common response to stress. Separation an
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
xiety is most common in infants and toddlers. Rebellion against hospital rules is usually not
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
an issue if the adolescent understands the rules and would not create childlike behaviors.An
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ic ci
adolescent may want to ―know everything‖ with their logical thinking and deductive reasoni
ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci
ng, but that would not explain why they would act like a child.
