nurse recognized the purpose of the HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile when

ANS: A
The HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile is a psychosocial assessment screening tool
`n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n ` n ` n
which assesses home, education, activities, drugs, sex, and suicide for the
`n `n `n `n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n
purposeof identifying high-risk adolescents and the need for anticipatory
` n ǹ `n `n `n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n
guidance. It is used to identify high-risk, not low-risk, adolescents.

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

3. The school nurse talking with a high school class about the

as
`n

size

results in an increase in overall size or weight of the body or any of its parts.

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

5. To plan early intervention a nNd care for an infant with Down syndrome, the nurse
`nǹ `nǹ `nǹ `nǹ ǹ ǹ `n ` n `nǹ ` n `nǹ `nǹ `nǹ `nǹ `nǹ `nǹ
considers knowledge of other physical development exemplars such as
`n `n `n ` n `n `n `n `n `n `n ` n
a. cerebral palsy. ` n
b. autism.
c. attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ` n ` n
d. failure to thrive. ` n ` n
ANS: D ` n
Failure to thrive is also a physical development exemplar. Cerebral palsy is
`n `n `n `n `n `n `n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n an
exemplar of motor/developmental delay. Autism is an exemplar of
`n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n
social/emotionaldevelopmental delay. ADHD is an exemplar of a cognitive
`n ǹ `n ` n `n `n ` n ` n `n `n
disorder.

6. To plan early intervention and care for a child with a developmental delay,
`n `n `n `n `n `n ` n `n ` n ` n `n ` n
the nurse would consider knowledge of the concepts most significantly impacted
` n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n
by development, including
`n `n ` n
a. culture.
b. environment.
c. functional status. ` n
d. nutrition. ǹ
ANS: C `n
, Function is one of the concepts most significantly impacted by development.
` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n
Othersinclude sensory-perceptual, cognition, mobility, reproduction, and sexuality.
` n ǹ ` n `n ` n ` n `n ` n
Knowledge of these concepts can help the nurse anticipate areas that need to be
`n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n
addressed. Culture is a concept that is considered to significantly affect
`n `n `n `n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n
development; the difference is the concepts that affect development are those
`n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n
thatrepresent major influencing factors (causes); hence determination of development
`n ǹ `n `n `n `n `n `n `n ` n
would be the focus of preventive interventions. Environment is considered to
`n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n
significantly affect development. Nutrition is considered to significantly affect
`n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n `n
development.

7. A mother complains to the nurse at the pediatric clinic that her 4-year-old
`n `n `n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n
child always talks to her toys and makes up stories. The mother wants
` n `n `n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n
her child to havea psychological evaluation. The nurse‘s best initial response
` n ` n ` n ` n ǹ `n `n `n ` n `n ` n `n
is to
` n `n `n
a. refer the child to a psychologist immediately.
` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n
b. explain that playing make believe is normal at this age. ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n
c. complete a developmental screening using a validated tool. ` n ` n ` n `n `n ` n ` n ` n
d. separate the child from the mother to get more information. ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n
ANS: B
By the end of the fourth year, it is expected that a child will engage in
`n `n `n `n `n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n
fantasy, sothis is normal at this age. A referral to a psychologist would
` n ` n ǹ `n `n `n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n
be premature based only on the complaint of the mother. Completing a
` n ` n ` n `n `n `n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n
developmental screening would be very appropriate but not the initial
` n ` n ` n `n `n `n `n ` n ` n ` n
response. The nurse would certainly want to get more information, but
` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n ` n `n `n `n `n
separating the child from the mother is not necessary at this time.

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