Rationale: Growth charts track child development. New Ballard Scale (choice A) assesses gestational age, not growth. Road to health chart (choice B), per WHO, plots weight-for-age, monitoring nutrition and health longitudinally. Apgar Score (choice C) evaluates newborns at birth, not growth. GCS Score (choice D, Glasgow Coma Scale) assesses consciousness. B is correct, synonymous with growth charts. Nurses use it to detect malnutrition, educate caregivers, and guide interventions, ensuring child well-being.
Question 2 of 5
In what phase of Nurse patient relationship does a nurse review the client's medical records thereby learning as much as possible about the client?

Orientation (B) begins with the first encounter, building trust. Working (C) involves goal-focused collaboration, and Termination (D) ends the relationship. Pre-Orientation is distinct as it's preparatory, not interactive, aligning with Peplau's model where understanding the client starts pre-contact, making A correct.
