Question 1 of 5
What is the corrected age of a child born at 30 weeks gestation on May 2, 2014, who is being tested on August 5, 2014?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To calculate the corrected age of a premature child, you need to adjust for the weeks of prematurity. In this case, the child was born at 30 weeks gestation. From May 2, 2014, to August 5, 2014, is a span of 14 weeks. Subtracting the 30 weeks of gestation from the total time passed (14 weeks) gives the corrected age, which is 14 - 30 = -16 weeks. Since negative weeks are not relevant here, the corrected age is 0 weeks, which is equivalent to 2 weeks.
Question 2 of 5
In which frame of reference does the child select activities that involve responses to movement, balance, weight bearing, and tactile activities?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ayres' sensory integration focuses on activities that target responses to movement, balance, weight bearing, and tactile stimuli to improve sensory processing and integration. This approach aims to address sensory challenges through structured activities to enhance overall function and participation.
Question 3 of 5
Mary is excited to work with the family of a friend with whom she has lost contact. Mary hopes the family will be able to connect her with her friend and is looking forward to hearing about her friend. At the next session, she asks the mother many questions about her friend and they spend a lot of time discussing their home town, etc. Which statement describes this scenario?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this scenario, Mary's focus on her own needs and interests by asking the mother about her lost friend and hometown indicates a lack of therapeutic benefit for the child and family. Effective therapy should prioritize the needs and goals of the child and family, not the therapist's personal desires or connections. Therefore, this interaction is not therapeutic as it fails to address the primary purpose of the therapy, which is to benefit the child and family.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is not a model centered on occupation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The biomechanical model focuses on the physical aspects of performance rather than occupation, making it the correct answer. The Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement, Person-Environment-Occupation-Participation, and Model of Human Occupation are all occupation-centered models used in occupational therapy.
Question 5 of 5
Which level nursery classifications are housed in institutions that can provide on-site surgical repair of serious congenital or acquired malformations?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In the context of pediatric nursing and neonatal care, understanding the different levels of nursery classifications is crucial for providing appropriate care to newborns. In this scenario, the correct answer is C) Level IV. Level IV nurseries are housed in institutions that can provide on-site surgical repair of serious congenital or acquired malformations. These nurseries have the highest level of care and are equipped to handle the most complex and critical cases. They have specialized medical and surgical capabilities, including advanced imaging, pediatric surgical specialists, and advanced respiratory support. The other options are incorrect because: A) Level III nurseries provide care for infants born at less than 32 weeks gestation or weighing less than 1500 grams. While they offer a high level of care, they may not have on-site surgical capabilities for serious malformations. B) Level I nurseries provide basic care for healthy newborns and term infants. They do not have the resources or expertise to handle complex surgical repairs. D) Level II nurseries provide care for moderately ill newborns but do not have the resources for on-site surgical repairs of serious malformations. Understanding the different levels of nursery classifications is essential for pediatric nurses to be able to advocate for appropriate levels of care for their patients and ensure they are in a facility equipped to meet their needs. This knowledge helps to optimize outcomes and provide the best possible care for newborns with complex medical conditions.
