Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation:
1. The MRI is a diagnostic test, not a screening test, and it is not performed by the nurse.
2. An electroencephalogra m evaluates brains wave activity of the brain. It does not evaluate the child's behavior.
3. The Denver Developmental Screening Test II is a tool used by the nurse that evaluates language and development.
4. A chromosomal test is not a screening test but a diagnostic test. It is not performed to determine developmental delay.
