The Denver II is the most commonly used measure of developmental status used by healthcare

professionals; it is a screening tool. Screening tools do not provide a diagnosis.Diagnosis requi j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

7. A mother complains to the nurse at the pediatric clinic that her 4-year-
j j j j j j j j j j j j
old child always talksto her toys and makes up stories. The mother wants her child to have a psych
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
ological evaluation. The nurse‘s best initial response is to j j j j j j j j
a. refer the child to a psychologist immediately. j j j j j j
b. explain that playing make believe is normal at this age. j j j j j j j j j
c. complete a developmental screening using a validated tool. j j j j j j j
d. separate the child from the mother to get more information. j j j j j j j j j
ANS: B j
By the end of the fourth year, it is expected that a child will engage in fantasy, so this is normal at t

er. Completing a developmental screening would be very appropriatebut not the initial response

. The nurse would certainly want to get more information, but separating the child from the moth
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
er is not necessary at this time.

a. have separation anxiety. j j
b. rebel against rules. j j
c. regress because of stress. j j j
d. want to know everything. j j j
