Final Exam Summary

HBSE Summary-

Pretty good overall- I won’t go through them question by question, as you probably have already looked up the reflexes (Tonic, Morro and Rooting) as well as the APGAR scare question.

Ones I gave credit for more than one of the answers?

Baby is able to fake emotions at :18-24 months (correct answer). I gave you credit no matter what you answered, because honestly when I started grading I couldn’t remember! I can’t dock you for it, even when I have new mother brain. Same with the T/F question about meds/cleft palate.

Pregnancy test that used to be given to mothers over the age of 35, but now offered to all prior to 13 weeks/combo of blood and ultrasound: I gave you credit for the Alpha- Fetoprotein and Nuchal. So you had a 50/50 shot at that one. (AFP was correct).
Freud question I also gave credit for two answers. It wasn’t the sex one, but I gave it to you if you answered it that way.

Answers to…
Aversive Racists: often are involved in discrimination in indirect or unintentional ways.

African American Mothers/ Attachment: in short/ the child can attach to multiple caregivers so the traditional theory is criticized.

Autism typically shows PRIOR to three years of age.

AN IMPORTANT ONE THAT MANY MISSED: Lack of Folic Acid can result in Neural tube defects (SPINAL BIFIDA, ETC.). Why is this so important? Most of these cases are easily avoided by eating bread or crackers/ cereal (most of which are fortified with it) and/ or a prenatal vitamin. This is one easily avoided one, important for you to emphasize with future clients!

ANOTHER: SIDS IS ASSOCIATED WITH EXPOSURE TO TOBACCO SMOKE AND IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH PLACING BABY WITH PARENT IN THE BED (CO- SLEEPING, recent finding).
