Question 1 of 5

Which of the following infant behaviors demonstrates the concept of object permanence?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Object permanence occurs when the infant learns that something/someone still exists even though they might not be able to see it/them. This develops between 9 and 10 months of age. If the infant cries when his mother leaves the room, it might be because he believes she is no longer in the house when he can't see her. If an infant picks up another toy after the one he is playing with rolls under the couch and the infant fails to look for it, he believes the toy that rolled under the couch no longer exists. Patty-cake is a game infants engage in but, it has nothing to do with object permanence. An infant game that does show object permanence is peek-a-boo. In this game, an infant continues to hunt for a hidden face because he believes it is still there.

A syringe pump is a type of electronic infusion pump used to infuse fluids or medications directly from a syringe. This device is commonly used for:

A. solutions administered in obstetrics. B. dilute antibiotics. C. large volumes of IV solution. D. the neonatal and pediatric populations.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Small volumes of medication or fluids are delivered and sometimes at slow rates to neonates and pediatric clients. The syringe pump allows precise infusion of small volumes.
Choice 1 is incorrect because a syringe pump can be used in almost any setting, but is not generally for adult clients.

Choices 2 and 3 are incorrect because large volumes of fluids are not administered with a syringe pump.
