Answer to Question 1

A, B, E
Feedback:
To support the 2020 National Health Goals related to health assessment of children, the nurse should participate actively in health assessment, including vision and hearing, and screening for and administering vaccines. Listening to heart sounds and measuring gait and balance do not support the 2020 National Health Goals related to health assessment of children.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
By 6 months of age the infant's brain weighs half that of the adult brain; at age 12 months, the brain weighs 2.5 times what it did at birth. Most infants double their birthweight by 4 to 6 months of age and triple their birthweight by the time they are 1 year old. The head circumference increases rapidly during the first 6 months: the average increase is about 0.6 inch (1.5 cm) per month. The heart doubles in size over the first year of life. As the cardiovascular system matures, the average pulse rate decreases from 120 to 140 in the newborn to about 100 in the 1-year-old.
