A nurse is collecting data from a 10-year-old child during a well-child visit.
Which of the following statements by the child indicates he is meeting the psychosocial development expectations of a school-age child?
"I like to collect rocks.”.
"I really want to do well in school.”.
"I can do simple math problems in my head.”.
"My parents set rules that I need to follow.”. .
The Correct Answer is A
Choice A rationale
Collecting objects like rocks reflects the interest in categorizing and organizing, which aligns with the industry vs. inferiority stage for school-age children.
Choice B rationale
Wanting to do well in school also fits with the industry vs. inferiority stage, where children gain pride from achieving tasks and being competent.
Choice C rationale
Doing simple math problems in one's head indicates cognitive development but doesn't directly align with the psychosocial development focus.
Choice D rationale
Following rules set by parents is important, but it's more about conforming to authority rather than indicating psychosocial development specific to industry vs. inferiority.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Placing the infant safety seat in the middle of the back seat away from the windows is the safest position, protecting the child from potential impact during accidents and from direct
sunlight or objects coming through windows.
Choice B rationale
Following the child's weight and height is crucial for safely transitioning from an infant car seat to a booster seat. This ensures proper restraint and protection as the child grows.
Choice C rationale
Allowing a baby to watch the driver while in the back seat indicates a forward-facing position, which is unsafe for infants. Rear-facing positions provide the best protection for an
infant's head, neck, and spine.
Choice D rationale
Using a previously owned car seat with intact instructions can ensure proper installation and use. However, checking the seat's history and condition is crucial to ensure it meets
current safety standards.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Capillary refill less than 2 seconds is a normal finding and suggests adequate perfusion. It is not indicative of a priority concern in this context.
Choice B rationale
Tingling in the right foot can indicate nerve damage or compromised circulation, which is critical to address in a patient with a fracture. This symptom could suggest complications like compartment syndrome, requiring immediate medical attention.
Choice C rationale
Respiratory rate of 24/min is slightly elevated but not directly related to the fracture's immediate complications. It requires monitoring but is not the priority.
Choice D rationale
A 2+ right pedal pulse indicates a normal pulse and adequate circulation in the foot. While important, it does not represent an immediate concern in this context.
