Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: A developmental delay that should cue the nurse to a probable problem would be that this 2-year-old is not able to stand by himself. Most children are walking between 12 months and 18 months. The other data are considered normal behavior for a 2-year-old.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: This option is not collaborative but rathernurse mediated, which the nurse can implement independently.

Rationale 3: This option is not collaborative but rather nurse mediated, which the nurse can implement independently.
Rationale 4: This option is not collaborative but rather nurse mediated, which the nurse can implement independently.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
