In order to assess the developmental history of a child, the community health nurse would ask a parent:
1. "Did you experience any prenatal problems?"
2. "What concerns you about your child?"
3. "How old was your child when he first walked?"
4. "What have you tried in the past for this problem?"
ANS: 3
This specifically addresses the child's development. Option 1 will elicit prenatal history. Option 2 will identify the presenting problem. Option 4 will identify past attempts to deal with the pre-senting problem.
