Question

A school nurse has completed an educational program for parents of the preschool children. Which statement by a participant indicates a need for further education?

Answer 1

Answer:

"My 5-year-old son still needs me to dress and undress him."

Explanation:

For the participant to say that her 5 year-old son still needs him or her to dress and undress him, this shows that she has not understood the motor skill required in children according to their age. A 5-year-old child should be able to dress and undress without needing assistance as it is a an expected motor skill for this age. Such child should be in the process of learning how to swim and skate, as these are also expected motor skill from a child of 5 years.
