It negatively affects growth and development
What is the impact of prolonged malposition on the baby's body?
Skeletal deformities due to pressure on specific areas of the baby's body
Motor development refers to a progressive decrease in skill and capacity of function.
False
Gross motor behaviors include the use of hands and fingers such as grasping, buttoning, and zipping.
False
Fine motor behaviors include skills like sitting, creeping, and walking.
False
The text mentions that motor development can be measured accurately through observation.
False
Motor development causes a quantitative change in the child's functioning.
False
Cognitive development refers to the increase in physical size of the body or its parts.
False
Cognitive development causes a qualitative change in the child's functioning.
True
Cognitive development can be measured accurately in kilograms, pounds, meters, inches, etc.
False
Gross motor behaviors are examples of cognitive development.
False
Language development is an example of cognitive development.
True
Each stage of growth and development is independent and not affected by those preceding types of development.
False
During the prenatal stage, the head grows at the same rate as the other organs.
False
Infants achieve mastery of their extremities before mastering head control.
False
The trend of growth that proceeds from the center or midline of the body to the periphery is called cephalocaudal.
False
Babies learn to grasp objects with their fingers before they can roll over.
False
Prolonged malposition can lead to skeletal deformities due to pressure on specific areas of the baby's body.
True
School is often assumed to have a negative effect on children's behavioral development.
False
The neonatal stage lasts from birth to 8 weeks of age.
False
The fetal stage starts from 12 weeks to birth.
False
Mass media, including television, books, and movies, generally has a negative effect on children's behavioral development.
False
What impact can prolonged malposition during fetal development have on the baby's body?
Prolonged malposition can lead to skeletal deformities due to pressure on specific areas of the baby's body.
How does fetal malposition affect the growth and development of the baby?
Fetal malposition can affect the normal growth and development of the baby, potentially leading to skeletal deformities and health issues.
What is the impact of reduced blood flow through the placenta and umbilical cord on the baby's growth and development?
Reduced blood flow can affect the baby's growth and development, potentially leading to health issues and developmental challenges.
Match the factor related to the mother with its impact on the growth and development of the baby:
Socio-economic status of the family = Affects child's nutrition and access to healthcare Child’s nutrition = Impacts child's growth and development Exercise during pregnancy = Can influence fetal development and birth outcomes Prolonged malposition during fetal development = May lead to skeletal deformities and affect nutrient delivery
Match the factor related to the mother with its effect on the prenatal period:
Socio-economic status of the family = Can impact access to prenatal care and nutrition Child’s health deviation = Influences the mother's health during pregnancy Exercise during pregnancy = Can contribute to a healthier prenatal period Maternal nutrition = Directly affects fetal development and growth
Match the maternal factor with its potential impact on the fetus:
Maternal nutrition = Affects nutrient and oxygen delivery to the baby Prolonged malposition during fetal development = May lead to skeletal deformities in the baby Exercise during pregnancy = Can influence fetal growth and development Child’s health deviation = Can affect the mother's ability to support fetal development
