Answer to Question 1

B
Human growth and development is an orderly predictive process that begins with conception and continues through death. It is not erratic or difficult to predict. It does not stop at adulthood and is not unpredictable during childhood.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A A school-age child will be tired the following day if allowed to stay up later than usual. The nurse should first ask a question to assess the child's usual sleep patterns.
B The response, Establish bedtimes for the child, and withhold his allowance whenever he does not adhere to those bedtimes, is not appropriate because the nurse is assuming that the boy is not adhering to a bedtime.
C A sleep problem is often the cause of fatigue.
D This response is incorrect because the nurse is assuming the child is experiencing insomnia.
