A nurse is teaching a newly hired nurse about motor skill development of school-age clients who are 6 to 12 years old. Which of the following statements by the newly hired nurse demonstrates effective teaching?
"By age 6, most children can dress and completely groom themselves."
"Children are expected to count backwards from 20 to 1 by age 7."
"Children engage in motor activities that require balance such as jumping rope by age 6."
"By age 6, most children can use tools such as a screwdriver or hammer."
The Correct Answer is C
A. By age 6, while children can dress themselves, they may still need assistance with more complex grooming tasks, making this statement too absolute.
B. Counting backwards from 20 to 1 is typically expected by age 8, not age 7, indicating this statement is inaccurate regarding cognitive development.
C. Engaging in motor activities that require balance, such as jumping rope, is appropriate for children around age 6, demonstrating the expected physical development in this age group.
D. While children can use simple tools, mastery and effective use of tools like a screwdriver or hammer are more typical around ages 8 to 10, making this statement premature for age 6.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for long-term management and prevention of asthma symptoms, not for acute relief.
B. Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid used for long-term control of asthma but does not provide immediate relief during an acute attack.
C. Albuterol is a short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) that provides rapid bronchodilation and is the first-line medication for relieving acute asthma symptoms.
D. Fluticasone is also an inhaled corticosteroid intended for long-term management, which does not address the immediate needs of an acute asthma attack.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. Distributive shock, particularly in the context of anaphylaxis, is characterized by widespread vasodilation that leads to a decrease in systemic vascular resistance and impaired blood flow to organs despite normal or increased cardiac output.
B. This option is incorrect because distributive shock involves decreased systemic vascular resistance due to vasodilation rather than an increase.
C. This statement describes hypovolemic shock, not distributive shock. Distributive shock is not primarily caused by the loss of blood volume.
D. While loss of myocardial contractility can lead to cardiogenic shock, it is not the mechanism behind distributive shock, which is related to vascular tone rather than heart function.
