2. Which question provides information regarding a child's community mobility?

• A. What is the level of supervision provided?
• B. Can the child leave the house and play with friends?
• C. Is the child being bullied?
• D. Is there equipment available so the child can play with peers?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Choice B directly assesses the child's community mobility by inquiring about their ability to leave the house and engage in play activities with friends. Community mobility involves the child's independence in social and recreational activities outside the home, making this question crucial for understanding their daily functioning and autonomy.

3. Which is NOT one of the functions of challenging behaviors?

• A. Avoiding a situation
• B. Escaping from an undesired object or event
• C. to make others happy
• D. Sensory functions

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Challenging behaviors often serve functions related to avoiding, escaping, obtaining, or sensory needs. The question is asking for the function that does not typically apply to challenging behaviors. Choices A, B, C, and D align with the common functions associated with challenging behaviors. Therefore, 'E' is the correct answer as it does not represent a typical function of challenging behaviors.

4. Which type of play involves actions such as looking and touching the mother's face, putting hands in one's mouth, and responding to familiar people?

• A. Exploratory
• B. Functional or relational
• C. Pretend
• D. Symbolic or imaginary

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Exploratory play is characterized by exploring sensory experiences and learning about the environment. In this type of play, infants engage in activities like looking, touching, and responding to familiar stimuli to understand the world around them.

5. Which clinical manifestations should the nurse anticipate upon assessment for a preschool-age child with a urinary tract infection (UTI)?

• A. Headache, hematuria, and vertigo
• B. Foul-smelling urine, elevated blood pressure (BP), and hematuria
• C. Urgency, dysuria, and fever
• D. Severe flank pain, nausea, and headache

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Preschool-age children with a urinary tract infection commonly present with urgency (feeling the need to urinate urgently), dysuria (painful urination), and fever. These symptoms are indicative of a UTI in this age group and should prompt further assessment and intervention by the nurse. Choice A is incorrect because headache and vertigo are not typical symptoms of UTI in preschool-age children. Choice B is incorrect because while foul-smelling urine and hematuria can be present in UTI, elevated blood pressure is not a common finding in this condition. Choice D is incorrect as severe flank pain and nausea are not typical manifestations of UTI in preschool-age children.
