Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about Piaget's stages of cognitive development. The nurse should instruct that object permanence develops during which of the following stages?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Concrete operational: This stage (7 to 11 years) is characterized by logical thinking about concrete events. Sensorimotor: This stage (birth to about 2 years) is when infants learn about the world through their senses and actions. Object permanence-the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen, heard, or touched-develops in this stage. Formal operational: This stage (12 years and up) involves abstract and moral reasoning. Preoperational: This stage (2 to 7 years) is when children begin to engage in symbolic play and learn to manipulate symbols, but they don't yet understand concrete logic.
Question 5 of 5
When assessing the abdomen,which assessment technique is used last?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Percussion: Percussion is typically performed before palpation. It helps to detect differences in density of abdominal contents, fluid presence, and gas patterns. Auscultation: Auscultation is performed before any palpation or percussion to prevent altering bowel sounds. It is typically the second step after inspection. Palpation: Palpation is used last during an abdominal assessment to prevent altering the characteristics of bowel sounds and to ensure that any tenderness or abnormal masses are identified after a thorough initial assessment. Palpation can cause changes in bowel sounds and tenderness. Inspection: Inspection is always the first step in any physical examination. It allows for a visual assessment of the abdomen, looking for distension, asymmetry, and skin changes.
