Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
Feedback:
The Denver II Developmental Screening Test is the most widely used tool to assess early childhood development and rates the categories of personalsocial, fine motoradaptive, language, and gross motor skills. The nurse should explain to the parent before administering the test that this test does not measure intelligence but of the child's level of development or ability to perform age-appropriate tasks.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Though hearing should be fully developed at birth, the other senses continue to develop as the infant matures. The newborn should respond to noises. Sight, smell, taste, and touch all continue to develop after birth. The newborn's eyes wander and occasionally cross, and the newborn is nearsighted, preferring to view objects at a distance of 8 to 15 inches. Holding, stroking, rocking, and cuddling calm infants when they are upset and make them more alert when they are drowsy.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
