Answer to Question 1

1,2,3,5
Rationale 1: Making eye contact with the nurse and caregiver is part of the child's overall affect and social skills. A child who fails to make eye contact may have an alteration in mental health.
Rationale 2: Flinching may indicate a desire to avoid contact; this can indicate a mental health issue and should be further evaluated.
Rationale 3: History of prenatal care and delivery can help determine potential alterations in mental health in a child.
Rationale 4: Head circumference is not measured in a four-year-old.
Rationale 5: Affect can be determined by facial expression and response to the nurse, helping to determine mental health.
