Practice Question
Which assessment data does the nurse not need to evaluate while administering a developmental screening test, whether through questionnaire, observation, or direct testing?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
The child's favorite food
Rationale:
💠A child’s favorite food is not relevant to developmental assessment, as it doesn’t provide insight into milestones or functioning.
💠Developmental screening focuses on motor, cognitive, social, and language skills, not dietary preferences.
💠Important data include fine and gross motor coordination, emotional responses, and parental concerns.
💠While nutrition affects growth, it is not a developmental milestone parameter used in standardized tests.
💠Therefore, the nurse prioritizes information that reflects neurological and behavioral development over food preferences.
