1. A nurse is reviewing developmental concepts for infants and children. Which statement best
v v v v v v v v v v v v



describes development in infants and children?
v v v v v v




a. Development, a predictable and orderly process, occurs at varying rates within v v v v v v v v v v


normal limits.
v v




b. Development is primarily related to the growth in the number and size of cells. v v v v v v v v v v v v v




c. Development occurs in a proximodistal direction with fine muscle development v v v v v v v v v


occurring first.
v v




d. Development is more easily and accurately measured than growth. v v v v v v v v




ANS: A v




Development, a continuous orderly process, provides the basis for increases in the childs
v v v v v v v v v v v v



function and complexity of behavior. The increases in rate of function and complexity can vary
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



normally within limits for each child. An increase in the number and size of cells is a definition
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



for growth. Development proceeds in a proximodistal direction with fine muscle organization
v v v v v v v v v v v v



occurring as a result of large muscle organization. Development is a more complex process that
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



is affected by many factors; therefore, it is less easily and accurately measured. Growth is a
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



predictable process with standard measurement methods.
v v v v v v




2. Frequent developmental assessments are important for which reason?
v v v v v v v




a. Stable developmental periods during infancy provide an opportunity to identify
v v v v v v v v v


any delays or deficits.
v v v v




b. Infants need stimulation specific to the stage of development.
v v v v v v v v




c. Critical periods of development occur during childhood.
v v v v v v




d. Child development is unpredictable and needs monitoring
v v v v v v

,ANS: C v




Critical periods are blocks of time during which children are ready to master specific
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



developmental tasks. Children can master these tasks more easily during particular periods of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



time in their growth and developmental process. Infancy is a dynamic time of development that
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



requires frequent evaluations to assess appropriate developmental progress. Infants in a nurturing
v v v v v v v v v v v v



environment will develop appropriately and will not necessarily need stimulation specific to their
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



developmental stage. Normal growth and development are orderly and proceed in a predictable
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



pattern on the basis of each individuals abilities and potentials.
v v v v v v v v v v




3. Which factor has the greatest influence on child growth and development?
v v v v v v v v v v




a. Culture

b. Environment

c. Genetics

d. Nutrition


ANS: C v




Genetic factors (heredity) determine each individuals growth and developmental rate. Although
v v v v v v v v v v



factors such as environment, culture, nutrition, and family can influence genetic traits, they do
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



not eliminate the effect of the genetic endowment, which is permanent. Culture is a significant
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



factor that influences how children grow toward adulthood. Culture influences both growth and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



development but does not eliminate inborn genetic influences. Environment has a significant role
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



in determining growth and development both before and after birth. The environment can
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



influence how and to which extent genetic traits are manifested, but environmental factors cannot
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



eliminate the effect of genetics. Nutrition is critical for growth and plays a significant role
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



throughout childhood.

4. A nurse is planning a teaching session with a child. According to Piagetian theory, the period
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



of cognitive development in which the child is able to distinguish fact from fantasy is the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



period of cognitive development.
