Nursing Care of Children Final ATI

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Mortality statistics describe the number of individuals who have died over a specific period, providing insight into public health concerns.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Sitting independently. By 11 months, most infants can sit independently. This milestone usually precedes walking, which typically occurs closer to 12 months. Turning a doorknob and building a tower of four cubes involve more complex motor skills that are typically achieved later in development. Therefore, at 11 months, sitting independently is the milestone that the nurse would expect an infant to have achieved.

Rationale: Congenital anomalies are the leading cause of death in infants younger than 1 year in the United States.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Egocentricity in children aged 2 to 7 years means they are unable to see things from another person's perspective. This characteristic is a normal part of their cognitive development during this stage. Choice A, 'Selfishness,' is not an accurate description as egocentricity is more about a limited ability to understand others' viewpoints rather than intentional selfishness. Choice C, 'Able to put self in another's place,' is incorrect as egocentric children struggle to do this. Choice D, 'Prefers to play alone,' is not directly related to egocentricity but may be a behavior exhibited by some children for various reasons.
