Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Gesell's theory of development states that environment plays a part in child development, but it does not have any part in the sequence of development. Other factors influencing growth and development include biological, cognitive, and socioemotional processes. Environmental factors support, change, and modify the pattern of development, but they do not generate progressions of development. Each child's pattern of growth and development is unique and is directed by gene activity. Not every child develops certain skills at the same time. Children grow according to their own genetic blueprint.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
If individuals experience repeated developmental failures, inadequacies sometimes result is a true statement. Developmental failures could manifest with ineffective coping skills. However, when an individual experiences successes, health is promoted. Patients have unique patterns of growth and development that are not uniform. Nurses must consider the influence of culture and context on growth and development.
