A nurse is caring for a 12-month-old toddler who is hospitalized and confined to a room with contact precautions in place. Which of the following toys should the nurse recommend in orderto meet the developmental needs of the client?

A. Inspection, percussion, palpation, auscultation: This sequence starts with visual inspection, followed by percussion (tapping the body to assess underlying structures), palpation (using the hands to feel for abnormalities), and finally auscultation (listening with a stethoscope to assess sounds such as heart, lung, or bowel sounds). However, palpation is usually performed before percussion.

B. Inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation: This is the correct sequence for performing a physical examination. It begins with visual inspection, followed by palpation to assess for

tenderness, masses, or other abnormalities, then percussion to evaluate the density of underlying structures, and finally auscultation to listen to internal sounds.

C. Palpation, percussion, inspection, auscultation: This sequence starts with palpation, followed by percussion, then inspection, and finally auscultation. However, inspection is typically performed before palpation in a physical examination.

D. Inspection, auscultation, palpation, percussion: This sequence starts with visual inspection, followed by auscultation, palpation, and percussion. While auscultation often follows inspection, palpation is usually performed before auscultation.

A. Height in girls increases rapidly after menarche and usually ceases immediately after

menarchE. Height increases during adolescence are not directly related to menarche. Growth in girls typically continues for several years after menarche, although at a slower rate compared to the pre-pubertal growth spurt.

B. Boys' growth spurts usually begin between the ages of 8 and 14 years and end between the ages of 13½ and 17½ years: While boys do experience a growth spurt during adolescence, the timing and duration of growth spurts can vary widely among individuals. Growth typically

continues beyond the age of 14, with some boys reaching their full adult height in their late teens or early twenties.

C. Peak height velocity (PHV) occurs at approximately 12 years of age in girls or about 6 to 12 months after menarchE. Peak height velocity refers to the period of most rapid growth during adolescence. In girls, PHV typically occurs around the age of 12, with growth continuing for some time after menarche.

D. Boys reach PHV and peak weight velocity (PWV) at about 16 years of agE. Boys generally experience PHV and PWV later than girls, typically occurring around the age of 14 to 16. These milestones mark the period of most rapid growth in boys, with height and weight increasing significantly during this time.
