NR 602 Week 1 Ch. 2 questions with correct answers
1. Most stage-based theories of development focus primarily on:
a. The continuity of development
b. The discontinuity of development
c. Persistence of inherent personality characteristics
d. The influence of context on development Correct Answer-b. The
discontinuity of development
2. The common practice of using "time-outs" with young children is a
direct application of:
a. Operant conditioning
b. Classical conditioning
c. Separation-individuation
d. Maturational reinforcement Correct Answer-a. Operant conditioning
3. Good communication among families, schools, and primary care
providers is an example of which ecological concept?
a. Microsystem
b. Mesosystem
c. Exosystem
d. Macrosystem Correct Answer-b. Mesosystem
,4. Which of the following findings would most likely be associated with
asymmetric intrauterine growth retardation?
a. Weight, length, and head circumference ranging from 3rd to 5th
percentile
b. Heavy maternal smoking throughout pregnancy
c. Weight at 3rd percentile and length at 25th
d. Gestational diabetes Correct Answer-. C: Weight at 3rd percentile and
length at 25th
The weight and length are at significantly different percentiles; if the
IUGR were symmetrical, these would be at the same percentile
5. Early reflexive responses that are not related to survival include all
but:
a. Babinski
b. Moro
c. Swimming
d. Rooting Correct Answer-D: Rooting
Rooting (i.e., moving the head to locate the nipple) is a key survival
reflex.
, 6. The most likely weight of a 1-year-old child whose weight at birth
was 6 pounds would be:
a. 19-20 pounds
b. 13-14 pounds
c. 25-26 pounds
d. Impossible to estimate Correct Answer-. A: 19-20 pounds
An infant's weight should approximately triple by the age of 1 year.
7. One of the major psychosocial tasks of infancy is:
a. Development of secure attachment
b. Separation-individuation
c. Symbiosis
d. Regulation Correct Answer-. A: Development of secure attachment
The development of an infant-caregiver bond is key to the prevention of
long-term psychological effects associated with deprivation and/or
failure to develop secure, stable bonds.
8. Which developmental theory best explains the multifactorial etiology
of failure to thrive?
