Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C
In the concrete operational stage of Piaget's theory, seriation is an important task. This task includes separating or sorting objects using specific criteria. Separating toy horses by functions and arranging a leaf album by color or tree type are examples of seriation. Exploring museums does not contribute to seriation. Learning how objects can be used for unusual purposes and describing other points of view are part of the formal operations stage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A 3-month-old child should be able to follow a moving object with his or her eyes. However, one single abnormal assessment finding does not necessarily mean that the child has a growth and developmental delay. The nurse should assess for other age-appropriate behaviors. Documentation should occur but is not the priority action at this point. A referral is not warranted nor is assessing for child abuse based on the data.
