There are characteristics and a normal sequence of human growth and development. The nurse sees a 2-month-old child in the pediatrician's office. This is the first child for a new mother.
 
  One day after the child was born, the mother asks the nurse to describe what the expectations are for the child during the first 3 months. Based on the mother's question to the nurse, what would be the best explanation by the nurse about the major level of cognitive development for a 2-month-old child? A) Develop preferred sleeping position and cry to signal needs
  B) Laugh, squeal, look at objects for several seconds and reach for and grasp objects
  C) Smile, babble, follow lights, and react to sounds
  D) Develop social smile, respond to pleasurable interactions such as looking at the mother's face

Question 2

The nurse is reviewing the anatomy and physiology of the nephron with a group of nursing students. The nurse educator asks a nursing student to describe the function of the proximal convoluted tubule.
 
  What is the best explanation for the function of the proximal convoluted tubule? A) Filters water, wastes (urea), glucose, and salts out of the blood
  B) Glucose, amino acids, and salts are actively transported across membranes and returned to the blood
  C) Concentrates salts by reabsorbing water
  D) Reabsorbs sodium, water, and the remainder of glucose

Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
At 8 weeks, the major level of development is establishing a preferred sleeping position and crying to signal needs. At 6 weeks, the major level of development is smiling, babbling, following lights, and reacting to sounds. At 3 months of age, the major level of development is laughing, squealing, looking at objects for several seconds, and reaching for and grasping objects. At 2 to 3 months of age, the major level of development is to develop a social smile and respond to pleasurable interactions, such as looking at human faces.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The glomerulus filters water, wastes (urea), glucose, and salts out of the blood. The proximal convoluted tubule actively transports glucose, amino acids, and salts across membranes and returns them to the blood. Loop of Henle concentrates salts by reabsorbing water. The distal convoluted tubule reabsorbs sodium, water, and the remainder of glucose.
