Which question from the nurse during a health history and physical assessment for the school-age child would best determine cognitive development?
1. "What grade are you in?"
2. "What is your least favorite class?"
3. "What books have you read lately?"
4. "What classes are you taking, and what are your grades in them?"
4
Explanation:
1. Grade level is also a good indication of cognitive development, but there could be many different reasons that a child has been held back in school that are not related to cognitive development.
2. Determining classes the child does not enjoy would be helpful, but not the best determinant of poor cognitive development.
3. Many children have not been encouraged to read books, and while the types of books read would be a good indication of cognitive development, lack of interest in reading would not necessarily indicate poor cognitive development.
4. Asking about what kind of classes the child is taking and the grades that the child is receiving in those classes would give the nurse an indication of how the child is developing cognitively.
