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

development would best describe growth as
a. processes by which early cells specialize.
b. psychosocial and cognitive changes.

ANS: D
Growth is a quantitative change in which an increase in cell number and size results in an

cells specialize are referred to as differentiation. Psychosocial and cognitive changes are
referred to as development. Qualitative changes associated with aging are referred to as
maturation.
