Question 1 of 5
To what is a person referring when during an interview the person says,"I am a member of the sandwich generation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Has both older and younger siblings: This does not specifically relate to the 'sandwich generation' concept. Cares for children and aging parents at the same time: The term 'sandwich generation' refers to individuals who are simultaneously caring for their own children and their aging parents. There is a role reversal between parents and self: While this may occur in caregiving situations, it doesn't define the 'sandwich generation.' Assists own parents and spouse's parents: This is similar to option B but specifically refers to assisting one's own parents and the spouse's parents, not necessarily at the same time.
Question 2 of 5
You're assessing a 4-month-old infant. Which finding below is a normal milestone that should be reached by this infant at this age?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pincer grasp: The pincer grasp, which involves using the thumb and forefinger to pick up small objects, typically develops around 8 to 12 months of age, not at 4 months. Rolls from tummy to back: At 4 months, many infants start to develop the ability to roll from their tummy to their back. This is a typical milestone for this age and reflects developing motor skills. Walks with support: Walking with support usually begins around 9 to 12 months of age, much later than 4 months. Rolls from back to tummy: Rolling from back to tummy typically occurs a bit later, often around 5 to 6 months. At 4 months, rolling from tummy to back is the more expected milestone.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse working in a community health center is preparing a flow sheet detailing essential screenings according to age group. At which developmental stage on the chart should the nurse add scoliosis screening?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Older Adult: Scoliosis screening is typically performed during adolescence, not in older adults. Older adults are more likely to be screened for other conditions such as osteoporosis. Pre-adolescent/adolescent: Scoliosis screening is most commonly conducted during preadolescence and adolescence, typically around 10-15 years of age, when growth spurts occur, and the spine is most susceptible to curvature.
Toddler/Preschooler: Scoliosis is rarely screened in toddlers or preschoolers. This age group focuses more on developmental milestones and immunizations. Infant: Scoliosis is not typically screened in infants. Screening for spinal curvature is more relevant during the rapid growth periods of adolescence.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assessing a 12-month-old infant who is brought to the clinic by the parents for a well-child visit. The nurse reviews the infant's health history and notes that the infant weighed $8 \mathrm{lb}$ at birth. When assessing the infant's weight at this visit,the nurse would anticipate that the infant would weigh approximately how much at this time?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 20 lbs: This is a plausible estimate. By 12 months, an infant's birth weight typically triples.
Therefore, an $8 \mathrm{lb}$ birth weight would approximately translate to $24 \mathrm{lbs}$ at 12 months. 32 lbs: This estimate is too high. If an infant's birth weight triples by 12 months, an $8 \mathrm{lb}$ birth weight would not be expected to reach 32 lbs. 24 lbs: An infant's weight usually triples by their first birthday.
Therefore, an infant born weighing $8 \mathrm{lbs}$ would be expected to weigh about $24 \mathrm{lbs}$ at 12 months. 16 lbs: This is an underestimate. An $8 \mathrm{lb}$ infant would double their birth weight by about 4 to 6 months, and by 12 months, they would typically have tripled their birth weight to around $24 \mathrm{lbs}$.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is educating a group of middle adults about health promotion. What statement by one of the participants indicates the need for additional education?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: I will make exercise a part of my daily activities.' This is a positive and correct statement. Regular exercise is an important component of a healthy lifestyle and should be encouraged. 'I should eat a diet high in fats but low in fiber.' This statement is incorrect and indicates a misunderstanding of healthy dietary guidelines. A diet high in fats and low in fiber is not recommended for maintaining health and can lead to various health issues like obesity, heart disease, and digestive problems. 'I only have one glass of wine a day with dinner.' This statement aligns with moderate alcohol consumption guidelines, which suggest that up to one glass of wine per day for women and two for men can be part of a healthy lifestyle. 'I will begin a smoking cessation program this week.' This statement reflects a positive health choice. Quitting smoking is one of the most beneficial actions a person can take for their health, reducing risks for many diseases.
