Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Indicators of problems with the endocrine system include increased thirst, excessive appetite, delayed or early pubertal changes, and problems with growth. For the genitourinary system the nurse would assess urinary patterns and genitals. For the hematologic system the nurse would assess lymph nodes, skin color, and bruising. Signs of neurologic problems include numbness, tingling, difficulty learning, altered mood or ability to stay alert, tremors, tics, and seizures.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, F
The functional history should contain information about the child's daily routine, such as toileting habits, safety measures, and nutrition. Problems with growth and development would be covered in the developmental history. Prenatal and perinatal history is assessed in the past health history and the child's race and ethnicity is part of the demographics.
