Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST-II) can be used to assess the infant's behavior and can be used from birth to 6 years. It is intended to estimate the abilities of a child compared to those of an average group of children of the same age.
Rationale 2: The CDC utilizes growth charts for physical assessment, but these do not address developmental issues.
Rationale 3: The school system assessment tools would be focused on the school-age child.
Rationale 4: The Apgar scoring system is used to provide information about the baby's physiologic adaptation within minutes after birth.
