MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. An infant gains head control before sitting unassisted. The nurse recognizes that this is which
type of development?
a. Cephalocaudal
b. Proximodistal
c. Mass to specific
d. Sequential
ANS: A
The pattern of development that is head-to-tail, or cephalocaudal, direction is described by an infant’s

ability to gain head control before sitting unassisted. The head end of the organism develops first and is
large and complex, whereas the lower end is smaller and simpler, and development takes place at a later
time. Proximodistal, or near to far, is another pattern of development. Limb buds develop before fingers
and toes. Postnatally, the child has control of the shoulder before achieving mastery of the hands. Mass
to specific is not a specific pattern of development. In all dimensions of growth, a definite, sequential
pattern is followed.

2. Which refers to those times in an individual’s life when he or she is more susceptible to positive or
negative influences?
a. Sensitive period
b. Sequential period
c. Terminal points
d. Differentiation points
ANS: A
Sensitive periods are limited times during the process of growth when the organism will interact with a
particular environment in a specific manner. These times make the organism more susceptible to positive
or negative influences. The sequential period, terminal points, and differentiation points are
developmental times that do not make the organism more susceptible to environmental interaction.

3. An infant who weighs 7 pounds at birth would be expected to weigh how many pounds at age 1
year?
a. 14
b. 16
c. 18
d. 21
ANS: D
In general, birth weight triples by the end of the first year of life. For an infant who was 7 pounds at birth,
21 pounds would be the anticipated weight at the first birthday; 14, 16, or 18 pounds is below what would
be expected for an infant with a birth weight of 7 pounds.
4. By what age does birth length usually double?
a. 1 year
b. 2 years
c. 4 years
d. 6 years
ANS: C
Linear growth or height occurs almost entirely as a result of skeletal growth and is considered a stable
measurement of general growth. On average, most children have doubled their birth length at age 4
years. One and 2 years are too young for doubling of length. Most children will have achieved the
doubling by age 4 years.

5. Parents of an 8-year-old child ask the nurse how many inches their child should grow each year.
The nurse bases the answer on the knowledge that after age 7 years, school-age children usually
grow what number of inches per year?
a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
ANS: B
The growth velocity after age 7 years is approximately 5 cm (2 inches) per year. One inch is too small an
amount. Three and 4 inches are greater than the average yearly growth after age 7 years.

6. Parents express concern that their pubertal daughter is taller than the boys in her class. The
nurse should respond with which statement regarding how the onset of pubertal growth spurt
compares in girls and boys?
a. It occurs earlier in boys.
b. It occurs earlier in girls.
c. It is about the same in both boys and girls.
d. In both boys and girls, the pubertal growth spurt depends on growth in infancy.
ANS: B
Usually, the pubertal growth spurt begins earlier in girls. It typically occurs between the ages of 10 and 14
years for girls and 11 and 16 years for boys. The average earliest age at onset is 1 year earlier for girls.
There does not appear to be a relation to growth during infancy.
7. A 13-year-old girl asks the nurse how much taller she will get. She has been growing about 2
inches per year but grew 4 inches this past year. Menarche recently occurred. The nurse should
base her response on which statement?
a. Growth cannot be predicted.
b. Pubertal growth spurt lasts about 1 year.
c. Mature height is achieved when menarche occurs.
d. Approximately 95% of mature height is achieved when menarche occurs.
ANS: D
At the time of the beginning of menstruation or the skeletal age of 13 years, most girls have grown to
about 95% of their adult height. They may have some additional growth (5%) until the epiphyseal plates
are closed. Although growth cannot be definitively predicted, on average, 95% of adult height has been
reached with the onset of menstruation. Pubertal growth spurt lasts about 1 year does not address the
girl’s question. Young women usually will grow approximately 5% more after the onset of menstruation.
TOP: Integrated Process: Teaching/Learning
8. How is a child’s skeletal age best determined?
a. Assessment of dentition
b. Assessment of height over time
c. Facial bone development
d. Radiographs of the hand and wrist
ANS: D
The most accurate measure of skeletal age is radiologic examinations of the growth plates. These are the
epiphyseal cartilage plates. Radiographs of the hand and wrist provide the most useful screening to
determine skeletal age. Age of tooth eruption has considerable variation in children. It would not be a
good determinant of skeletal age. Assessment of height over time will provide a record of the child’s
height but not skeletal age. Facial bone development will not reflect the child’s skeletal age, which is
determined by radiographic assessment.
9. Trauma to which site can result in a growth problem for children’s long bones?
a. Matrix
b. Connective tissue
c. Calcified cartilage
d. Epiphyseal cartilage plate
ANS: D
The epiphyseal cartilage plate is the area of active growth. Bone injury at the epiphyseal plate can
significantly affect subsequent growth and development. Trauma or infection can result in deformity. The
matrix, connective tissue, and calcified cartilage are not areas of active growth. Trauma in these sites will
not result in growth problems for the long bones.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehend REF: p. 41
10. A nurse has completed a teaching session for adolescents regarding lymphoid tissue growth.
Which statement, by the adolescents, indicates understanding of the teaching?
a. The tissue reaches adult size by age 1 year.
b. The tissue quits growing by 6 years of age.
c. The tissue is poorly developed at birth.
d. The tissue is twice the adult size by ages 10 to 12 years.
ANS: D
Lymphoid tissue continues growing until it reaches maximal development at ages 10 to 12 years, which is
twice its adult size. A rapid decline in size occurs until it reaches adult size by the end of adolescence.
The tissue reaches adult size at 6 years of age but continues to grow. The tissue is well developed at
birth.

11. Which statement is true about the basal metabolic rate (BMR) in children?
a. It is reduced by fever.
b. It is slightly higher in boys than in girls at all ages.
c. It increases with age of child.
d. It decreases as proportion of surface area to body mass increases.

ANS: B
The BMR is the rate of metabolism when the body is at rest. At all ages, the rate is slightly higher in boys
than in girls. The rate is increased by fever. The BMR is highest in infancy and then closely relates to the
proportion of surface area to body mass. As the child grows, the proportion decreases progressively to
maturity.
MSC: Area of Client Needs: Health Promotion and Maintenance: Growth and Development
12. A mother reports that her 6-year-old child is highly active, irritable, and irregular in habits and that
the child adapts slowly to new routines, people, or situations. How should the nurse chart this
type of temperament?
a. Easy
b. Difficult
c. Slow-to-warm-up
d. Fast-to-warm-up
ANS: B
Being highly active, irritable, irregular in habits, and adapting slowly to new routines, people, or situations
is a description of difficult children, which compose about 10% of the population. Negative withdrawal
responses are typical of this type of child, who requires a more structured environment. Mood
expressions are usually intense and primarily negative. These children exhibit frequent periods of crying
and often violent tantrums. Easy children are even tempered, regular, and predictable in their habits.
They are open and adaptable to change. Approximately 40% of children fit this description. Slow-to-
warm-up children typically react negatively and with mild intensity to new stimuli and adapt slowly with
repeated contact. Approximately 10% of children fit this description. “Fast-to-warm-up” is not one of the
categories identified.

13. A 12-year-old child enjoys collecting stamps, playing soccer, and participating in Boy Scout
activities. The nurse recognizes that the child is displaying which developmental task?
a. Identity
b. Industry
c. Integrity
d. Intimacy
ANS: B
Industry is engaging in tasks that can be carried through to completion, learning to compete and
cooperate with others, and learning rules. Industry is the developmental task characteristic of the school-
age child. Identity is the developmental task of adolescence. Integrity and intimacy are not developmental
tasks of childhood.
14. A nurse is conducting parenting classes for parents of children ranging in ages 2 to 7 years. The
parents understand the term egocentrism when they indicate it means:
a. selfishness.
b. self-centeredness.
c. preferring to play alone.
d. unable to put self in another’s place.
ANS: D
According to Piaget, children ages 2 to 7 years are in the preoperational stage of development. Children
interpret objects and events not in terms of their general properties but in terms of their relationships or
their use to them. This egocentrism does not allow children of this age to put themselves in another’s
place. Selfishness, self-centeredness, and preferring to play alone do not describe the concept of
egocentricity.
15. The nurse is observing parents playing with their 10-month-old child. Which should the nurse
recognize as evidence that the child is developing object permanence?
a. Looks for the toy that parents hide under the blanket
b. Returns the blocks to the same spot on the table
c. Recognizes that a ball of clay is the same when flattened out
d. Bangs two cubes held in her hands
ANS: A
Object permanence is the realization that items that leave the visual field still exist. When the infant
searches for the toy under the blanket, it is an indication that object permanence has developed.
Returning the blocks to the same spot on the table is not an example of object permanence. Recognizing
that a ball of clay is the same when flattened out is an example of conservation, which occurs during the
concrete operations stage from 7 to 11 years. Banging two cubes together is a simple repetitive activity
characteristic of developing a sense of cause and effect.
16. A father tells the nurse that his child is “filling up the house with collections” like seashells, bottle
caps, baseball cards, and pennies. What should the nurse recognize the child is developing?
a. Object permanence
b. Preoperational thinking
c. Concrete operational thinking
d. Ability to use abstract symbols
ANS: C
During concrete operations, children develop logical thought processes. They are able to classify, sort,
order, and otherwise organize facts about the world. This ability fosters the child’s ability to create
collections. Object permanence is the realization that items that leave the visual field still exist. This is a
task of infancy and does not contribute to collections. Preoperational thinking is concrete and tangible.
Children in this age group cannot reason beyond the observable, and they lack the ability to make
deductions or generalizations. Collections are not typical for this developmental level. The ability to use
abstract symbols is a characteristic of formal operations, which develops during adolescence. These
children can develop and test hypotheses.
17. A visitor arrives at a daycare center during lunchtime. The preschool children think that every time
they have lunch a visitor will arrive. Which preoperational characteristic is being displayed?
a. Egocentrism
b. Transductive reasoning
c. Intuitive reasoning
d. Conservation
ANS: B
Transductive reasoning is when two events occur together, they cause each other. The expectation that
every time lunch is served a visitor will arrive is descriptive of transductive reasoning. Egocentrism is the
inability to see things from any perspective than their own. Intuitive reasoning (e.g., the stars have to go
to bed just as they do) is predominantly egocentric thought. Conservation (able to realize that physical
factors such as volume, weight, and number remain the same even though outward appearances are
changed) does not occur until school age.
TOP: Integrated Process: Nursing Process: Diagnosis
18. Which behavior is most characteristic of the concrete operations stage of cognitive development?
a. Progression from reflex activity to imitative behavior
b. Inability to put oneself in another’s place
c. Increasingly logical and coherent thought processes
d. Ability to think in abstract terms and draw logical conclusions
ANS: C
During the concrete operations stage of development, which occurs approximately between ages 7 and
11 years, increasingly logical and coherent thought processes occur. This is characterized by the child’s
ability to classify, sort, order, and organize facts to use in problem solving. The progression from reflex
activity to imitative behavior is characteristic of the sensorimotor stage of development. The inability to put
oneself in another’s place is characteristic of the preoperational stage of development. The ability to think
in abstract terms and draw logical conclusions is characteristic of the formal operations stage of
development.
19. According to Kohlberg, children develop moral reasoning as they mature. Which statement is
most characteristic of a preschooler’s stage of moral development?
a. Obeying the rules of correct behavior is important.
b. Showing respect for authority is important behavior.
c. Behavior that pleases others is considered good.
d. Actions are determined as good or bad in terms of their consequences.
ANS: D
Preschoolers are most likely to exhibit characteristics of Kohlberg’s preconventional level of moral
development. During this stage, they are culturally oriented to labels of good or bad, right or wrong.
Children integrate these concepts based on the physical or pleasurable consequences of their actions.
Obeying the rules of correct behavior, showing respect for authority, and engaging in behavior that
pleases others are characteristics of Kohlberg’s conventional level of moral development.
20. A school nurse notes that school-age children generally obey the rules at school. The nurse
recognizes that the children are displaying which stage of moral development?
a. Preconventional
b. Conventional
c. Postconventional
d. Undifferentiated
ANS: B
Conventional stage of moral development is described as obeying the rules, doing one’s duty, showing
respect for authority, and maintaining the social order. This stage is characteristic of school-age children’s
behavior. The preconventional stage is characteristic of the toddler and preschool age. At this stage, the
child has no concept of the basic moral order that supports being good or bad. The postconventional level
is characteristic of an adolescent and occurs at the formal stage of operation. Undifferentiated describes
an infant’s understanding of moral development.
21. A nurse observes a toddler playing with sand and water. How should the nurse document this
type of play?
a. Skill
b. Dramatic
c. Social-affective
d. Sense-pleasure
ANS: D
The toddler playing with sand and water is engaging in sense-pleasure play. This is characterized by
nonsocial situations in which the child is stimulated by objects in the environment. Infants engage in skill
play when they persistently demonstrate and exercise newly acquired abilities. Dramatic play is the
predominant form of play in the preschool period. Children pretend and fantasize. Social-affective play is
one of the first types of play in which infants engage. The infant responds to interactions with people.
TOP: Integrated Process: Communication and Documentation
22. In which type of play are children engaged in similar or identical activity, without organization,
division of labor, or mutual goal?
a. Solitary
b. Parallel
c. Associative
d. Cooperative
ANS: C
In associative play, no group goal is present. Each child acts according to his or her own wishes.
Although the children may be involved in similar activities, no organization, division of labor, leadership
assignment, or mutual goal exists. Solitary play describes children playing alone with toys different from
those used by other children in the same area. Parallel play describes children playing independently but
being among other children. Cooperative play is organized. Children play in a group with other children
who play in activities for a common goal.
23. The nurse observes some children in the playroom. Which play situation exhibits the
characteristics of parallel play?
a. Kimberly and Amanda sharing clay to each make things
b. Brian playing with his truck next to Kristina playing with her truck
c. Adam playing a board game with Kyle, Steven, and Erich
d. Danielle playing with a music box on her mother’s lap
ANS: B
Playing with trucks next to each other but not together is an example of parallel play. Both children are
engaged in similar activities in proximity to each other; however, they are each engaged in their own play.
Sharing clay to make things is characteristic of associative play. Friends playing a board game together is
characteristic of cooperative play. A child playing with something by herself on her mother’s lap is an
example of solitary play.
24. A nurse is planning play activities for school-age children. Which type of a play activity should the
nurse plan?
a. Solitary
b. Parallel
c. Associative
d. Cooperative
ANS: D
School-age children engage in cooperative play where it is organized and interactive. Playing a game is a
good example of cooperative play. Solitary play is appropriate for infants, parallel play is an activity
appropriate for toddlers, and associative play is an activity appropriate for preschool-age children.
25. Which following function of play is a major component of play at all ages?
a. Creativity
b. Socialization
c. Intellectual development
d. Sensorimotor activity
ANS: D
Sensorimotor activity is a major component of play at all ages. Active play is essential for muscle
development and allows the release of surplus energy. Through sensorimotor play, children explore their
physical world by using tactile, auditory, visual, and kinesthetic stimulation. Creativity, socialization, and
intellectual development are each functions of play that are major components at different ages.
MSC: Area of Client Needs: Health Promotion and Maintenance: Developmental Stages and Transitions
26. Parents are asking the clinic nurse about an appropriate toy for their toddler. Which response by
the nurse is appropriate?
a. “Your child would enjoy playing a board game.”
b. “A toy your child can push or pull would help develop muscles.”
c. “An action figure toy would be a good choice.”
d. “A 25-piece puzzle would help your child develop recognition of shapes.”
ANS: B
Toys should be appropriate for the child’s age. A toddler would benefit from a toy he or she could push or
pull. The child is too young for a board game, action figure, or 25-piece puzzle.
27. Which is probably the single most important influence on growth at all stages of development?
a. Nutrition
b. Heredity
c. Culture
d. Environment
ANS: A
Nutrition is the single most important influence on growth. Dietary factors regulate growth at all stages of
development, and their effects are exerted in numerous and complex ways. Adequate nutrition is closely
related to good health throughout life. Heredity, culture, and environment contribute to the child’s growth
and development. However, good nutrition is essential throughout the life span for optimal health.
28. A nurse is counseling an adolescent, in her second month of pregnancy, about the risk of
teratogens. The adolescent has understood the teaching if she makes which statement?
a. “I will be able to continue taking isotretinoin (Accutane) for my acne.”
b. “I can continue to clean my cat’s litter box.”
c. “I should avoid any alcoholic beverages.”
d. “I will ask my physician to adjust my phenytoin (Dilantin) dosage.”
ANS: C
Teratogens are agents that cause birth defects when present in the prenatal period. Avoidance of
alcoholic beverages is recommended to prevent fetal alcohol syndrome. Isotretinoin (Accutane) and
phenytoin (Dilantin) have been shown to have teratogenic effects and should not be taken during
pregnancy. Cytomegalovirus, an infectious agent and a teratogen, can be transmitted through cat feces,
and cleaning the litter box during pregnancy should be avoided.
29. What should the nurse consider when discussing language development with parents of
toddlers?
a. Sentences by toddlers include adverbs and adjectives.
b. The toddler expresses himself or herself with verbs or combination words.
c. The toddler uses simple sentences.
d. Pronouns are used frequently by the toddler.
ANS: B
The first parts of speech used are nouns, sometimes verbs (e.g., “go”), and combination words (e.g.,
“bye-bye”). Responses are usually structurally incomplete during the toddler period. The preschool child
begins to use adjectives and adverbs to qualify nouns followed by adverbs to qualify nouns and verbs.
Pronouns are not added until the later preschool years. By the time children enter school, they are able to
use simple, structurally complete sentences that average five to seven words.
30. A nurse is observing children at play. Which figure depicts associative play?
a.
b.
c.
d.
ANS: C
The children depicted in the figure at the carnival ride are demonstrating associative play. They are
engaged in similar or identical activities. The child depicted playing alone is demonstrating solitary play.
The children playing on the beach depict parallel play. They are playing side by side but are participating
in different activities. The children depicted playing a board game are engaging in cooperative play.
31. Which syndrome involves a common sex chromosome defect?
a. Down
b. Turner
c. Marfan
d. Hemophilia
ANS: B
Turner syndrome is caused by an absence of one of the X chromosomes. Down syndrome is caused by
trisomy 21, three copies rather than two copies of chromosome 21. Marfan syndrome is a connective
tissue disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Hemophilia is a disorder of blood coagulation
inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern.
MSC: Area of Client Needs: Physiologic Integrity: Physiologic Adaptation

32. Turner syndrome is suspected in an adolescent girl with short stature. What is the cause of this
syndrome?
a. Absence of one of the X chromosomes
b. Presence of an incomplete Y chromosome
c. Precocious puberty in an otherwise healthy child
d. Excess production of both androgens and estrogens
ANS: A
Turner syndrome is caused by an absence of one of the X chromosomes. Most girls who have this
disorder have one X chromosome missing from all cells. No Y chromosome is present in individuals with
Turner syndrome. This young woman has 45 rather than 46 chromosomes.
MSC: Area of Client Needs: Physiologic Integrity: Physiologic Adaptation
MULTIPLE RESPONSE
1. Play serves many purposes. In teaching parents about appropriate activities, the nurse should
inform them that play serves which of the following function? (Select all that apply.)
a. Intellectual development
b. Physical development
c. Socialization
d. Creativity
e. Temperament development
ANS: A, C, D
A common statement is that play is the work of childhood. Intellectual development is enhanced through
the manipulation and exploration of objects. Socialization is encouraged by interpersonal activities and
learning of social roles. In addition, creativity is developed through the experimentation characteristic of
imaginative play. Physical development depends on many factors; play is not one of them. Temperament
refers to behavioral tendencies that are observable from the time of birth. The actual behaviors, but not
the child’s temperament attributes, may be modified through play.
2. What factors indicate parents should seek genetic counseling for their child? (Select all that
apply.)
a. Abnormal newborn screen
b. Family history of a hereditary disease
c. History of hypertension in the family
d. Severe colic as an infant
e. Metabolic disorder
ANS: A, B, E
Factors that are indicative parents should seek genetic counseling for their child include an abnormal
newborn screen, family history of a hereditary disease, and a metabolic disorder. A history of
hypertension or severe colic as an infant is not an indicator of a genetic disease.

3. A nurse is preparing to administer a Denver II. Which is a correct statement about the Denver II?
(Select all that apply.)
a. All items intersected by the age line should be administered.
b. There is no correction for a child born preterm.
c. The tool is an intelligence test.
d. Toddlers and preschoolers should be prepared by presenting the test as a game.
e. Presentation of the toys from the kit should be done one at a time.
ANS: A, D, E
To identify “cautions,” all items intersected by the age line are administered. Toddlers and preschoolers
should be tested by presenting the Denver II as a game. Because children are easily distracted, perform
each item quickly and present only one toy from the kit at a time. Before beginning the screening, ask
whether the child was born preterm and correctly calculate the adjusted age. Up to 24 months of age,
allowances are made for preterm infants by subtracting the number of weeks of missed gestation from
their present age and testing them at the adjusted age. Explain to the parents and child, if appropriate,
that the screenings are not intelligence tests but rather are a method of showing what the child can do at
a particular age.
COMPLETION
1. The nurse is recording a normal interpretation of a Denver II assessment. The nurse understands
that the maximum number of cautions determined for a normal interpretation is _____. (Record
your answer in a whole number.)
ANS:
1
Interpretation of normal for a Denver II is no delays and a maximum of one caution.
OTHER
1. Place in order the sequence of cephalocaudal development that the nurse expects to find in the
infant. Begin with the first development expected, sequencing to the final. Provide answers using
lowercase letters separated by commas (e.g., a, b, c, d).
1. Crawl
2. Sit unsupported
3. Lift head when prone
4. Gain complete head control
5. Walk
ANS:
c, d, b, a, e
Cephalocaudal development is head-to-tail. Infants achieve structural control of the head before they
have control of their trunks and extremities, they lift their head while prone, obtain complete head control,
sit unsupported, crawl, and walk sequentially.
