The nurse is collecting data about a baby in the well-baby clinic. The nurse reads in the electronic medical record that cephalocaudal direction movements are present. What are examples of cephalocaudal direction movements?
 
  1 . Lift head before sitting
  2 . Sit before walking
  3 . Roll over before grasping objects
  4 . Make sounds before being able to walk
  A) 1, 2
  B) 1, 4
  C) 2, 3
  D) 3, 4

Question 2

The nurse is reviewing the characteristics and components of a client's urine. The client's urine appears very dilute. The client has been drinking 5,000 mL of fluid a day to attempt to flush a kidney stone out to avoid surgery.
 
  Based on this information, what would be the most likely specific gravity? A) 1.005
  B) 1.010
  C) 1.015
  D) 1.020

Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Movements such as lifting the head before sitting up and making sounds before being able to walk are in the cephalocaudal direction. Proximodistal means from the center to the outside. Following this, babies are likely to roll over before they grasp small objects. Growth and development also progress from simple to complex; following this principle, babies are more likely to sit before learning to walk.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Normal urine is only slightly concentrated, with a specific gravity of about 1.010 to 1.025 . A higher specific gravity indicates more concentrated urine and could be secondary to dehydration or urinary retention. Low (lower than the normal range) specific gravity indicates dilute urine and may be secondary to overhydration or a physical disorder.
