NURS 6512 WEEK 9 QUIZ (LATEST-2019) ADVANCED
HEALTH ASSESSMENT: WALDEN UNIVERSITY
Question 1
Motor maturation proceeds in an orderly progression from:
Motor maturation proceeds in a cephalocaudal direction. Motor control of the
head and neck develops first, followed by the trunk and extremities. The other
choices are incorrect because they relate maturation sequence inappropriately.
Question 2
The thalamus is the major integration center for perception of:
The thalamus is the major integrating center for perception of various
sensations such as pain and temperature, serving as the relay center between
the basal ganglia and cerebellum. The reception of speech and interpretation of
speech is located in the Wernicke area. The olfactory sense is processed in the
parietal lobe. The cerebrum holds memories, allows you to plan, and enables
you to imagine and think. The limbic system mediates the sense of smell and
certain patterns of behavior (primitive behaviors, visceral response to
emotional and biologic rhythms) that determine survival, such as mating,
aggression, fear, and affection.
Question 3
The examiner should be concerned about neurologic competence if a social
smile cannot be elicited by the time a child is _____ old.
, A social smile is expected in the 2- to 3-month-old infant. If it is difficult or
impossible to elicit a social smile by 3 months, the infant may not be
neurologically intact.
Question 4
Normal changes of the aging brain include:
Sensory perceptions of touch and pain are diminished by aging. The velocity
of nerve impulse conduction declines, so response to stimuli takes longer. The
number of cerebral neurons is thought to decrease by 1% a year beginning at
50 years of age; however, the vast number of reserve cells inhibits the
appearance of clinical signs. Dermatomal patterns do not change. Acquired
knowledge is maintained throughout life.
Question 5
You are most concerned for the infant that has a:
The tonic neck reflex must disappear before the infant can roll over or bring
its hands to its face; it should disappear by 6 months. The other choices are
within expected ranges.
Question 6
You have asked a patient to close his eyes and identify an object placed in his
hand. You are evaluating:
