Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4, 5
Nutrition, climate, culture, and religion are all external, environmental factors that can affect how an individual grows and develops over time. Heredity drives the physical attributes of growth and development such as stature, gender, and race.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4

Growth and development (G and D) occurs in a cephalocaudal direction; from head to toe. G and D proceeds from simple to complex; an infant will reach out for an object before actually being able to grasp the object. G and D progresses from general to specific responses; an infant responds to stimuli with the entire body, and older child will respond more specifically, for example with a smile. G and D does not proceed from distal to proximal but rather from proximal to distal; i.e., from the center of the body outward. Anterior to posterior does not describe a pattern of normal growth and development.
