A mother tells the nurse that her child has been able to recognize a quart of milk whether it is in the milk container or poured into a plastic jug as the same amount.
 
  Based on this information that the nurse collected about the child's current cognitive development, this skill most likely is an example of what concrete operation characteristic of Piaget's theory of cognitive development? A) Reversibility
  B) Seriation
  C) Conservation of matter
  D) Complex problem solving

Question 2

The nurse is reviewing the anatomy and physiology of the nephron with a group of nursing students. The nurse educator asks a nursing student to describe the function of the glomerulus.
 
  What is the best explanation for the function of the glomerulus? A) Filters water, wastes (urea), glucose, and salts out of the blood
  B) Glucose, amino acids, and salts are actively transported across membranes and returned to the blood
  C) Concentrate salts by reabsorbing water
  D) Reabsorbs sodium, water, and the remainder of glucose

Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Conservation of matter: Children begin to understand quantities, weight, and volume such as a quart of milk whether it is in the milk container or poured into a plastic jug as the same amount. Reversibility: Children walk to school and know that by reversing the direction of the walk they can get home again. Seriation: Children can arrange things in a series, from big to little or in a numbered sequence. Complex problem solving is the ability of the child to think in the abstract.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Loop of Henle concentrates salts by reabsorbing water. The glomerulus filters water, wastes (urea), glucose, and salts out of the blood. The proximal convoluted tubule actively transports glucose, amino acids, and salts across membranes and returns then to the blood. The distal convoluted tubule reabsorbs sodium, water, and the remainder of glucose.
