Human Growth & Development (Exam2)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Human development is a lifelong process of | physical, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional growth and change |
| Universal Principles of Human Growth and Development: Cephalocaudal principle | Human development follows a head-to-toe progression. Infants gain control over their neck and head before they can control their extremities. |
| Universal Principles of Human Growth and Development: Proximodorsal principle | Human development progresses from the center of the body in an outward direction. The spine develops first, followed by extremities, then fingers and toes. |
| Universal Principles of Human Growth and Development: Simple to complex | Human development evolves in an orderly fashion from simple to complex. Infants accomplish head control before they are able to crawl. |
| Universal Principles of Human Growth and Development: Continuous process | Human development is a continuous process characterized by periods of growth spurts and periods of slow and steady growth. |
| Universal Principles of Human Growth and Development: General to specific | Human development occurs from large muscle movement to more refined muscle movements. |
| Universal Principles of Human Growth and Development: Individualized rates | Human development varies from individual to individual. Each person has their own growth timetable and rate of development. |
| Human development begins with | conception, which marks the beginning of prenatal development. |
| Prenatal development is followed by | the newborn, infancy, childhood, and adolescent stages. Each stage of development between conception and adolescence is characterized by unique physical, cognitive, and emotional changes that define each stage. |
| Prenatal development from conception to birth takes an | average of 38 to 40 weeks and is divided into three periods: zygote, embryo, and fetus. |
| The zygote period begins | with conception and lasts approximately 2 weeks |
| During the embryonic stage | body structures and internal organs develop. Three cell layers form during the embryonic period. The outer cell layer (ectoderm) will become the hair, outer layers of the skin, and the nervous system. |
| The middle cell layer (mesoderm) will become | the muscles, bones, and circulatory system |
| The inner cell layer (endoderm) will form | the lungs and digestive system |
| During the fetal period, the fetus becomes | larger, its body systems begin to function, and its brain begins to regulate body functions. |
| Apgar Scoring: A | Appearance (skin color) |
| Apgar Scoring: P | Pulse |
| Apgar Scoring: G | Grimace (reflect irritability) |
| Apgar Scoring: A | Activity |
| Apgar Scoring: R | Respiration |
| The Apgar score is intended to help practitioners quickly determine | whether a newborn requires immediate medical care |
| At birth, the nervous system is immature, and newborns respond to their environment through | series of reflexes. The presence of certain reflexes indicates normal neurological function and can help the practitioner estimate gestational age. |
| Expected Reflexes Present in the Newborn | Rooting, Moro, Tonic neck, Sucking, Babinski, Grasping, Blinking, Stepping |
| the expected developmental milestones to allow for variation among infants | 2 months of age can hold their head up when in a prone position. By 4 months, head lag is minimal. At 6 months, can roll from front to back. By 9 months, sit unsupported. By 12 months of age, the infant begins to walk while holding onto furniture. |
| The biopsychosocial model includes | biological factors such as genetic and health-related factors; psychological factors, such as cognitive, emotional, and personality factors; sociocultural factors, such as interpersonal, societal, cultural, and ethnic factors; and life-cycle forces |
| Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, later revised to become the bioecological model, explains | environments interact to influence human growth and development. The biopsychosocial model was developed to be more inclusive and is described as a balanced state It includes biological, social, and personal factors accommodations. |
| Sigmund Freud’s (1856 to 1939) theory on psychosexual development | The five psychosexual stages described by Freud are oral, anal, phallic, latent, and genital. Each stage is associated with an age range, an erogenous body part, and a developmental achievement level. |
| Eric Erikson (1902 to 1994), a noted psychologist and follower of Sigmund Freud, developed a theory of psychosocial development in which the stages of development emphasize social and environmental factors | Erikson’s eight stages are trust vs. mistrust, autonomy vs. shame and doubt, initiative vs. guilt, industry vs. inferiority, identity vs. role confusion, intimacy vs. isolation, generativity vs. stagnation, and integrity vs. despair. |
| correct stage of Piaget’s cognitive development | - Abstract Reasoning- Formal Operational -Logical Thinking- Concrete Operational - Preoperational- Expression through language an symbolic gestures - Sensorimotor- object permanence |
| correct level of Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development. | - Preconventional Reasoning - Control by rewards and punishments - Conventional Reasoning- Conformity with law and order - Postconventional Reasoning- Personal moral code |
| Down syndrome, also called trisomy 21, occurs in | infants who are born with an extra copy of chromosome 21. |
| What is the role of the nurse during prenatal development? | Nurses provide education, early assessment, and interventions to promote healthy outcomes and detect risks or conditions in pregnant clients and newborns. |
| What are common characteristics and risks associated with Down syndrome? | Down syndrome causes intellectual disabilities, congenital heart defects, and other issues; early intervention and family support are essential. |
| How can spina bifida be prevented and managed? | Prevention involves adequate folic acid intake during pregnancy; management includes surgical, medical treatments, and family education. |
| What are key nursing considerations for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)? | Nurses should assess, provide holistic care, collaborate with families, and offer tailored education and support for communication and social skills. |

| What are critical signs and prevention strategies for child maltreatment? | Nurses are alert to signs of abuse or neglect, act as mandatory reporters, and provide educational programs to prevent maltreatment. |
| Which screening test may be performed during pregnancy to detect Down syndrome? | blood tests such as the Quad-screen, combined with ultrasound to assess for genetic abnormalities. |
| Select all interventions nurses should provide to support healthy prenatal development. | Nursing support focuses on nutrition, prenatal visits, and folic acid, while alcohol and unnecessary x-rays should be avoided. |
