MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. ANS: 4

Maternal nutrition is vital to the healthy growth of the fetus. Poor maternal nutrition leads to an undergrown placenta. A small, poorly functioning placenta and smaller than normal umbilical cord is the cause for small-for-gestational age (otherwise known as small-for-dates) babies. The other options are all things the prospective mother needs to know, but they would not have an immediate impact on fetal health.

Toddlers have a fear of strangers, so it would be important to establish rapport before examining the child. Although talking to the mother before the child prior to a physical assessment does not lead to distrust, the action simply does not contribute to building a rapport with the child. Undressing the child before a trusting relationship is established often creates anxiety in the child, leading to uncooperativeness, fear, or withdrawal. Obtaining the child’s height and weight would not help the child feel secure.

The primary task during Erikson’s stage 2, Autonomy versus Shame and doubt, is establishing an identity as separate from the parent/caregiver. A child between 18 months and 3 years typically tests the boundaries as part of exercising his will to control his environment. “No” is a declaration of independence and a bid for increased autonomy. Acts of independence and autonomy are normal during this developmental stage. She should be able to tolerate time away from her parents, delay gratification, and have elimination control. The other tasks are accomplished during the preschool stage.

Jaundice results from the breakdown of the maternal red blood cells that are in the baby’s system after birth, which elevates the bilirubin in the serum. If detergent caused a reaction, the reaction would commonly present as a rash. Although hepatitis B virus may pass through the placenta to the fetus, the infant does not typically show signs at 1 week of life. If treatment becomes necessary, the infant would receive phototherapy; there is no cream to reduce the yellow appearance related to newborn jaundice.

Although all of these areas address important developmental tasks during the toddler period, safety is the highest priority at this age because the child has increased dexterity, mobility, determination, and is becoming more independent. Potty training is typically accomplished between 18 months and 3 years of age but is not a safety concern. It would be normal for a child at this age to be afraid of strangers. The child should be using utensils for most foods, but again it is not a safety concern.

Concerns about alcohol intake during adolescence is highest priority, regardless of whether or not it is stored in the home. Alcohol-related injury and death are a risk that should be avoided in every circumstance. Not having alcohol in the house does not guarantee the teenager won’t consume it with his friends. During the teen years, the relationships among peers strengthen and strongly influence adolescent behavior. Although the parents typically still maintain influence on the core values in the home, teens seek peers’ opinions for matters about social life or concerns of everyday living. As teens are developmentally concerned with appearance and social relationships, there can be an overemphasis on body image, leading to obesity and eating disorders. Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for teenagers typically due to distractibility, inattention, impulsiveness, and inexperience in various driving situations.

The developmental task during adolescence is to establish personal identity. Socially, preteens and teens are driven by a need to belong to a group. School-age children need to receive positive reinforcement for accomplishments and desired behavior, such as being good students. Although a small number of preadolescents are sexually active, it is not the major focus for this age. Functioning independently is a task for the young adult.

Both males and females experience a growth spurt during adolescence.

Generativity versus stagnation is the stage Erikson describes for the middle adult. During this stage, a mature adult either continues to gain skills, be productive, and pass on his or her knowledge to the next generation or stagnates. During the middle years, many adults are realistic and insightful about age-related physical and emotional changes. Others experience difficulty coping with passing youth and advancing age. Accepting death as a part of the continuum of life is a task for the older adult. Developing meaningful relationships is a task most influential for the young adult.

Preschoolers’ eye–hand coordination develops markedly during this period. They can hop on one foot, skip, and begin to learn to skate. The imagination of a preschool-age child is typically active, whereby they have fears of mythical figures, such as monsters. They have a limited ability to understand the concept of time or to tell time. A preschooler has the ability to consider simple viewpoints of other people.

Negative comments or comparisons with another child can be an indicator of or potential for child abuse. The nurse needs to determine whether this is an actual problem.

The mother seems to have a healthy attitude about the infestations and to be knowledgeable in the treatment. Imaginary play, magical thinking, and belief in mythical figures are normal at age 5. A child this age will normally imitate the same-sex parent.

Because the infant is totally dependent on the parents, quickly responding to his cries promotes attachment and trust. Although all options may promote attachment, they are not absolutely necessary in order for bonding to occur. Mother–infant attachment is complex and involves all senses—not simply hearing the mother talk to him. There are physical and emotional benefits to breastfeeding, but it is not necessary for mother–infant attachment. Sleeping in the same room may help the parent respond more quickly to the infant’s needs but is not the basis for attachment.

All are important topics to discuss with this age, but children of this age are very active, and injuries are common. Motor vehicle accidents are the most common cause of injury. They are just starting puberty, so sexual activity is still limited. The discussion of appropriate food choices and getting enough sleep should be done throughout the child’s developmental stages; it is not peculiar to ages 10 to 12 years. The preteen years are particularly important for adequate sleep and rest primarily because of the physical changes, active social lives, and increasingly complex demands on their lives.

Striving to be self-sufficient and successful and to establish a career and family are the tasks for this age. These tasks are demanding and can be emotionally difficult and potentially cause depression. Untreated depression is a leading cause of death among young adults. Sexually transmitted infections are a risk for this age group but are not as severe a threat as depression. Exercise is important to overall health but is not a source of stress. There are genetic health problems that can impact the client, but the question is asking about psychosocial development and common health problems.

The Babinski reflex is elicited by stroking upward of the side of the sole of the foot. This is one of several reflexes that should be present at birth. Stoking the bottom of the foot is not an assessment of circulation to the feet. The neuromuscular system is not fully developed at birth, but reflexes are present. Because an infant is not able to report sensation, which is a subjective finding, this is not the purpose of the nurse’s action.

Older adults have many losses to deal with, including the development of chronic health concerns and loss of independence. During the older adult years, children often provide care for their aging parents. Loss of short-term memory is more common than recollection of events involving long-term memory.

Interviewing each family member separately allows the suspected victim more freedom to express concerns. An abused person may be afraid to talk with the abuser present and may even support the abuser’s version of events. If two adults accompany a child, the situation still does not allow such freedom, because it may be that one of the adults is abusing both the partner and child. The nurse should separate the caregivers and child to be certain they all tell the same story. A SANE is needed to perform the physical examination only if sexual abuse is suspected from the interview.

Incontinence is not a normal part of aging and should be explored further. The thinning of the layers of the skin causes older adults to feel cold; however, this is a normal part of aging. With aging, the brown fat layer, which contributes to generating and maintaining body temperature, becomes thinner as well. This is not the same type of fat as adipose, which is a white fat layer. Additionally, older adults who are sedentary often feel cooler. The elderly normally experience a decrease in saliva production, so although this is also a symptom of dehydration, dry mouth is a normal change of aging. Visual acuity decreases with age, but this, too, is a normal part of aging.

This client has the characteristics of frailty: low physical activity, muscle weakness, fatigue, and slowed performance. Clearly, the client is not able to perform ADLs adequately; therefore, a home aide is needed. Adapted physical activity programs are designed for adults in better physical health, not for frail elders. The client would be unlikely to benefit from an APA and probably could not even participate in such a group activity. Depression and impaired mental abilities tend to accompany frailty, so it is important to assess those for this client. Nutrition is essential to slow the progression of frailty, so having meals delivered is both appropriate and important.
