Chapter 12 : Health Promotion of the Preschooler and Family Questions
Question 1 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 2 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 3 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 4 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.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is explaining the preconventional stage of moral development to a group of nursing students. What characterizes this stage?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Young childrens development of moral judgment is at the most basic level in the preconventional stage. They have little, if any, concern for why something is wrong. Following the rules, living up to social expectations, and having a concrete sense of justice and fairness are characteristics in the conventional stage.
