MULTIPLE CHOICE.
Growth & Development (Questions 1–20)
1. A 4-month-old infant is brought to the clinic for a well-child visit. Which
milestone should the nurse expect to observe?
A. Sits without support
B. Rolls from back to side
C. Transfers objects from one hand to the other
D. Crawls on hands and knees
Answer: B. Rolls from back to side
Rationale: Rolling from back to side typically appears around 4 months. Sitting without
support occurs at ~6–8 months, transferring objects at ~7 months, and crawling at ~8–
10 months.
,2. The nurse is assessing a 2-year-old toddler. Which behavior is developmentally
appropriate?
A. Plays cooperatively with peers
B. Engages in parallel play
C. Understands simple time concepts (e.g., yesterday)
D. Can tie shoelaces
Answer: B. Engages in parallel play
Rationale: Toddlers engage in parallel play (playing alongside but not with others).
, Cooperative play is typical for preschoolers, time concepts for school-age, and tying
shoelaces for early school-age (5–6 years).
3. A parent asks why the 12-month-old infant needs the MMR vaccine. What is the
nurse’s best response?
A. “It provides lifelong immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella after one dose.”
B. “It helps prevent congenital rubella syndrome in future pregnancies of the mother.”
C. “Infants are at highest risk for complications from measles, such as pneumonia and
encephalitis.”
D. “The vaccine also protects against varicella.”
Answer: C. Infants are at highest risk for complications from measles, such as
pneumonia and encephalitis.
Rationale: Measles can cause severe complications in infants. MMR does not protect
against varicella (that’s MMRV). Two doses are needed for full immunity. Herd immunity
helps protect pregnant women, but the primary rationale is preventing life-threatening
infection in the child.

A. Hops on one foot
B. Skips using alternating feet
C. Walks up and down stairs with two feet on each step
