Answer to Question 1

A
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. Head lice are a common health problem for children of this age because of close physical contact during play. 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.

Answer to Question 2

D
At 7 months, most children can sit up by themselves. Cruising usually occurs around 8 to 12 months. At about 7 to 10 months, a child begins to crawl. Infants develop a pincer grasp around 10 months.
