Which nursing assessment activities should be included for the child and family at each health-supervision visit?
1. Interview to obtain an updated health history.
2. Performing an age-appropriate development assessment.
3. Monitoring parents' ability to pay for services.
4. Performing age-appropriate screening examinations.
5. Physical assessment for genetic abnormalities.
Correct Answer: 1,2,4
Rationale: The interview, the developmental assessment, and age-appropriate screenings are all included in the nursing assessment of a child and family during each health-supervision visit. A nurse would not assess the parents' financial status at each health-supervision visit. Physical assessments for genetic abnormalities would be done based on history and/or physical findings, not at each routine visit.
