Questions With Explained Answers, 100% Rated
An 8-year-old boy's foster mother is concerned about three recent cavities found in his
permanent teeth and reports the child eats a nutritional diet, doesn't eat junk food, and the
town water supply is fluoridated. Which suggestion should the nurse prioritize to this
mother in regard to the child's dental health? - Ensure that the child brushes his teeth after
each meal and snacks.
Proper dental hygiene includes a routine inspection and conscientious brushing after
meals. A well-balanced diet with plenty of calcium and phosphorus and minimal sugar is
important to healthy teeth. Foods containing sugar should be eaten only at mealtimes and
should be followed immediately by proper brushing. The school-aged child should visit
the dentist at least twice a year for a cleaning and application of fluoride.
The mother of a 12-year-old boy is talking with the school nurse about her son's
clumsiness. She reports that he seems to fall a lot, his writing is horrible, and as much as
he practices he can't play his guitar very well. How should the nurse respond to the
mother? - "Have you spoken with your pediatrician about your observations?"
Myelinization of the central nervous system is reflected by refinement of fine motor
skills. The child between 10 and 12 years of age begins to exhibit manipulative skills
comparable to adults. In order to determine if the child is delayed in fine motor skill
development, the pediatrician should be made aware because further examination or
testing may be warranted. Just stating the fact that his motor skills should be developed
by this age, although true, does not address the mother's concerns. The teachers can be
notified of the mother's observations, but the child should still be assessed by the
pediatrician.
Parents of an 11-year-old child are bewildered that their child was caught stealing. The
nurse best supports the parent by explaining which? - The child had a strong desire to
have the item with little other way of obtaining it.
The nurse must consider the age of the child and compare with stages in moral
development. The nurse would point out that the desire to have an item may have
overcome the child's sense of right and wrong. Lying, not stealing, is used to escape
, punishment. Stealing is not a way to build self-esteem, although it may help the child
gain a certain status among peers. The lack of understanding of ownership and property
rights are typical of children between 6 and 8 years.
The developmental task of the school-aged period, according to Erikson, is gaining a
sense of - industry versus inferiority.
The school-age years, according to Erickson, are the stage of industry versus inferiority.
The developmental stage helps increase the child's sense of self worth. Industry is
associated with the child's increased interest in knowledge and the development of social
skills. Autonomy versus shame is the developmental tasks of 1 to 3 year old children.
Erickson's stages do not include the developmental tasks of independence versus
dependence nor identity versus failure.
The nurse is educating the parents of a 10-year-old girl in ways to help their child avoid
tobacco. Which suggestion should be part of the nurse's advice? - "As parents, you need
to be good role models."
The nurse would recommend that the parents be good role models and quit smoking.
Locking up or hiding your cigarettes and going outside to smoke is not as effective as
having a tobacco-free environment in the home.
The school nurse is the guest speaker in a classroom of fourth-grade children, and they
are discussing eating habits and the number of servings from each of the food groups that
is appropriate for the school-age child. Which of the following statements made by the
children best indicates an appropriate intake of one of the food groups for this age child?
- "I drink three big glasses of milk each day."
For the school-age child, an adequate intake of milk is 3 cups per day.
A mother is concerned that a 7-year-old child has taken money from a sibling's dresser
several times. What should the nurse advise the mother about this behavior? - The child
needs to be reminded of property rights.
Early childhood stealing is best handled without a great deal of emotion. A parent should
tell the child the money is missing. The importance of property rights should be
