Answer to Question 1

A
During the school-age years, the child will grow an average of 5 cm per year.
During the school-age years, the child will gain an average of 1.8 to 3.2 kg a year. Many children double, not triple, their weight during these middle childhood years.
Growth accelerates at different times for different children. Many physical differences are ap-parent among children at the end of middle childhood.
The school-age child appears slimmer as a result of changes in fat distribution and thickness.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Having the patient sitting upright is used for assessing lung expansion and symmetry of the upper extremities.
B Having the patient standing is not the best position for auscultating a heart murmur.
C Positioning the patient onto the left side brings the heart closer to the chest wall.
D The dorsal recumbent position is best used for abdominal assessment.
