ANS: C k i
The Denver II is the most commonly used measure of developmental status used by healt

7. A mother complains to the nurse at the pediatric clinic that her 4-year-
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
old child always talksto her toys and makes up stories. The mother wants her child to have
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
a psychological evaluation. The nurse‘s best initial response is to
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
a. refer the child to a psychologist immediately.
ki ki ki ki ki ki
b. explain that playing make believe is normal at this age. ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
c. complete a developmental screening using a validated tool. ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
d. separate the child from the mother to get more information. ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
ANS: B k i
By the end of the fourth year, it is expected that a child will engage in fantasy, so this is no
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
rmal at this age. A referral to a psychologist would be premature based only on the compla
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
int of the mother. Completing a developmental screening would be very appropriatebut not
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki i
k ki
the initial response. The nurse would certainly want to get more information, but separatin
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
g the child from the mother is not necessary at this time.

8. A 17-year-ki
old girl is hospitalized for appendicitis, and her mother asks the nurse why she isso needy a

a. have separation anxiety. ki ki
b. rebel against rules. ki ki
c. regress because of stress. ki ki ki
d. want to know everything. ki ki ki
ANS: C k i
Regression to an earlier stage of development is a common response to stress. Separation an
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
xiety is most common in infants and toddlers. Rebellion against hospital rules is usually not
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki k
an issue if the adolescent understands the rules and would not create childlike behaviors.An

adolescent may want to ―know everything‖ with their logical thinking and deductive reason
