1. 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.

2. What is the corrected age of a child born at 30 weeks gestation on May 2, 2014, who is being tested on August 5, 2014?

• A. 3 months
• B. 2 weeks
• C. 2.6 months
• D. 4 weeks

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the corrected age of a premature child, you need to adjust for the weeks of prematurity. In this case, the child was born at 30 weeks gestation. From May 2, 2014, to August 5, 2014, is a span of 14 weeks. Subtracting the 30 weeks of gestation from the total time passed (14 weeks) gives the corrected age, which is 14 - 30 = -16 weeks. Since negative weeks are not relevant here, the corrected age is 0 weeks, which is equivalent to 2 weeks. Choice A is incorrect because 3 months is not the correct adjustment for the given scenario. Choice C is incorrect as it provides a fractional value for age, which is not practical in this context. Choice D is incorrect as 4 weeks does not account for the weeks of prematurity.

3. A newborn diagnosed with an omphalocele defect is admitted to the intensive care nursery. Which nursing action is appropriate based on the current data?

• A. Placing the newborn on a radiant warmer
• B. Placing the newborn in an open crib
• C. Preparing the newborn for phototherapy
• D. Preparing the newborn for bottle-feeding

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Placing the newborn on a radiant warmer is appropriate as it helps maintain the body temperature and prevent hypothermia in a newborn with an omphalocele defect. This is crucial for the infant's well-being and supports their physiological stability.

4. Which frame of reference emphasizes techniques to teach children movement that resemble coaching?

• A. Motor control/motor learning
• B. Rehabilitation
• C. Biomechanical
• D. Ayres' sensory integration

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct frame of reference that emphasizes techniques to teach children movement resembling coaching is Motor control/motor learning. This approach focuses on improving movement skills through techniques that are similar to coaching methods. It helps children develop and refine their motor skills in a structured and goal-oriented manner. Rehabilitation, Biomechanical, and Ayres' sensory integration have different emphases and objectives in therapy, making them incorrect choices for this question.

5. What is functional behavior analysis?

• A. Systematic observation of behavior
• B. Standardized assessment
• C. Multiple choice examination
• D. Parent-teacher questionnaire

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Functional behavior analysis involves systematically observing behavior to understand its function and context. It focuses on identifying the antecedents and consequences that maintain or influence behavior. This systematic observation helps in determining patterns, triggers, and maintaining factors of behavior. Standardized assessments (choice B) involve using specific tools or tests to measure a person's performance or behavior but do not focus on observation. Multiple choice examinations (choice C) and parent-teacher questionnaires (choice D) are not synonymous with functional behavior analysis as they do not involve direct observation of behavior for analysis.
