Question 2

At a seminar for parents with preschool-age children, the nurse has discussed anticipatory tasks during the preschool years. Which statement by a parent should indicate a correct understanding of the teaching?
 
  a. I should be worried if my 4-year-old child has an increase in sexual curiosity because this is a sign of sexual abuse.
  b. I should expect my 5-year-old to change from a tranquil child to an aggressive child when school starts.
  c. I should be concerned if my 4-year-old child starts telling exaggerated stories and has an imaginary playmate, since these could be signs of stress.
  d. I should expect my 3-year-old child to have a more stable appetite and an increase in food selections.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A 3-year-old child exhibits a more stable appetite than during the toddler years and is more willing to try different foods. A 4-year-old child is imaginative and indulges in telling tall tales and may have an imaginary playmate; these are normal findings, not signs of stress. Also a 4-year-old child has an increasing curiosity in sexuality, which is not a sign of child abuse. A 5-year-old child is usually tranquil, not aggressive like a 4-year-old child.
