7. Which factor most impacts the type of injury a child is susceptible to, according to the child’s
age?
a. Physical health of the child
b. Developmental level of the child
c. Educational level of the child
d. Number of responsible adults in the home
ANS: B
The child’s developmental stage determines the type of injury that is likely to occur. The
child’s physical health may facilitate the child’s recovery from an injury but does not impact
the type of injury. Educational level is related to developmental level, but it is not as
important as the child’s developmental level in determining the type of injury. The number of
responsible adults in the home may affect the number of unintentional injuries, but the type of
injury is related to the child’s developmental stage.

NURSINGTB.COM
ANS: D
The new morbidity reflects the behavioral, social, and educational problems that interfere with
the child’s social and academic development. It is currently estimated that the incidence of
these issues is from 5% to 30%. Limitations in major activities of daily living and
unintentional injuries that result in chronic health problems are included in morbidity data.
Discovery of new therapies would be reflected in changes in morbidity data over time.

9. A nurse on a pediatric unit is practicing family-centered care. Which is most descriptive of the
care the nurse is delivering?
a. Taking over total care of the child to reduce stress on the family
b. Encouraging family dependence on health care systems
c. Recognizing that the family is the constant in a child’s life
d. Excluding families from the decision-making process

ANS: C
The three key components of family-centered care are respect, collaboration, and support.
Family-centered care recognizes the family as the constant in the child’s life. Taking over
total care does not include the family in the process and may increase stress instead of
reducing stress. The family should be enabled and empowered to work with the health care
system. The family is expected to be part of the decision-making process.
