Chapter 12 : Health Promotion of the Preschooler and Family Questions
Question 1 of 5
At a seminar for parents with preschool-age children, the nurse has discussed anticipatory tasks during the preschool years. Which statement by a parent should indicate a correct understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A 3-year-old child exhibits a more stable appetite than during the toddler years and is more willing to try different foods. A 4-year-old child is imaginative and indulges in telling tall tales and may have an imaginary playmate; these are normal findings, not signs of stress. Also a 4-year-old child has an increasing curiosity in sexuality, which is not a sign of child abuse. A 5-year-old child is usually tranquil, not aggressive like a 4-year-old child.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is explaining average weight gain during the preschool years to a group of parents. Which average weight gain should the nurse suggest to the parents?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The average weight gain remains approximately 2 to 3 kg (4.56.5 lb) per year during the preschool period.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is planning to bring a preschool child a toy from the playroom. What toy is appropriate for this age group?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The most characteristic and pervasive preschooler activity is imitative, imaginative, and dramatic play. Farm animals and equipment would provide hours of self-expression. Building blocks are appropriate for older infants and toddlers. A 500-piece puzzle or a paint by number picture would be appropriate for a school-age child.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is conducting an assessment of fine motor development in a 3-year-old child. Which is the expected drawing skill for this age?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A 3-year-old child copies a circle and imitates a cross and vertical and horizontal lines. He or she holds the writing instrument with the fingers rather than the fist. A 3-year-old is not able to draw a complete stick figure but draws a circle, later adds facial features, and by age 5 or 6 years can draw several parts (head, arms, legs, body, and facial features). Copying a triangle and diamond are mastered sometime between ages 5 and 6 years.
Question 5 of 5
What signals the resolution of the Oedipus or Electra complex?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The resolution of the Oedipus or Electra complex is identification with the same-sex parent. Learning sex differences and sexually appropriate behavior is a goal in further differentiation of oneself but does not signal the resolution of the Oedipus or Electra complex. Guilt over feelings toward the father or mother is seen as a stage in the complex, not the resolution.
