Q1A 9-month-old infant has a borderline developmental screening result, but the nurse observes significant motor delays. Which action should the nurse take immediately?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Refer to Early Intervention
Clinical concern overrides screening scores. Immediate Early Intervention referral is required for suspected delays to ensure timely evaluation and access to services.
Q2A Medicaid-enrolled child requires a specialist evaluation that the family cannot find locally. Under EPSDT mandates, which action must the nurse take?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Facilitate out-of-network referral
EPSDT mandates that states provide necessary diagnostic and treatment services. Nurses must facilitate access, including out-of-network referrals or scheduling assistance, rather than advising passive searching.
Q3A 32-month-old child receiving Early Intervention services will turn three years old soon. To prevent service gaps, which transition step is required?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Refer to the school district
Part C services end at age three. Referrals to the local education agency (Part B) must occur at least 90 days prior to ensure continuous support.
Q4A homeless adolescent parent reveals active suicidal ideation during a visit for housing support. Which priority action constitutes an appropriate warm handoff?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Ensure immediate safety assessment
Immediate safety is the priority. A warm handoff for crisis intervention takes precedence over addressing housing or social needs, which can be coordinated after safety is established.
Q5A grandmother has legal custody of a 3-year-old and receives SNAP benefits. Which statement accurately describes the child's WIC eligibility status?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Eligible based on adjunctive criteria
WIC serves children up to age five. Receipt of SNAP benefits provides adjunctive income eligibility for the household, regardless of the caregiver's relationship to the child.
Q6A student with ADHD requires preferential seating and extra time but is performing at grade level. Which school-based plan is most appropriate?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Section 504 accommodation plan
A 504 plan provides accommodations for access when specialized instruction is not needed. An IEP is reserved for students requiring specialized education to make progress.
