Question 1 of 5

Two children are working on a puzzle together in the hospital playroom. Which type of play describes this activity?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, cooperative play. In cooperative play, children work together toward a common goal, such as completing a puzzle. Solitary play (A) is when a child plays alone, associative play (B) involves children playing together but without a common goal, and parallel play (C) is when children play alongside each other without direct interaction.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse has completed an education program on normal communication abilities in the preschool-age child. Which statement by a participant indicates a need for further education?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. By age 5, children should be able to state their name and address. If a child cannot do this, it may indicate a developmental delay that requires further assessment. Choices A, B, and D do not indicate a need for further education as they reflect typical developmental milestones for preschool-age children, such as gradually improving counting skills, asking many questions, and improving speech clarity over time.

What type of shock is characterized by a hypersensitivity reaction causing massive vasodilation and capillary leaks, which may occur with drug or latex allergy?

Correct Answer: D
