Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The nurse provides direct services to children and their families: assessing and managing care, education, and counseling. Provision of immunizations is not a major role of community health nurses. Children are not often acutely ill nor are complementary therapies and environmental toxins the focus of health care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The Denver II screening tool assesses domain specific development (gross and fine motor, social, and language). The Pediatric Symptom Checklist assesses coping and mental health concerns, the Ages and Stages Questionnaire assesses social and emotional development, and the Parents' Evaluation of Developmental Status assesses general developmental and behavioral screening.
