Questions and Answers
Age-related changes in the renal system result in:
Age-related changes in the renal system result in:
- The formation of large amounts of urine secondary to an increase in kidney mass of up to 20%.
- A decreased ability to clear wastes from the body and a decreased ability to conserve fluids when needed. (correct)
- A significant increase in filtration, which causes the excretion of large amounts of water from the body.
- Dilation of the blood vessels that supply the nephrons, which allows the kidneys to maintain their function.
At what age does separation anxiety typically peak in infants and small children?
At what age does separation anxiety typically peak in infants and small children?
- 10 to 18 months (correct)
- 6 to 8 months
- 24 to 36 months
- 18 to 24 months
In late adults, the amount of air left in the lungs after expiration of the maximum amount of air:
In late adults, the amount of air left in the lungs after expiration of the maximum amount of air:
- Decreases, which increases diffusion in the lungs and causes an accumulation of carbon dioxide.
- Remains unchanged because the lungs have become accustomed to years of breathing pollution.
- Decreases, resulting in widespread collapsing of the alveoli and impaired diffusion of gases.
- Increases, which hampers diffusion of gases because of the stagnant air that remains in the alveoli. (correct)

Study Notes
Renal System Changes
- Age-related changes in the renal system lead to decreased waste clearance and fluid conservation abilities.
Separation Anxiety in Children
- Peaks between 10 to 18 months of age.
Lung Capacity in Late Adults
- Aged individuals often have increased residual air in the lungs, hindering gas diffusion.
Anterior Fontanelle Fusion
- The anterior fontanelle typically fuses at 9 to 18 months.
Cardiac Function Decline
- Commonly associated with atherosclerosis in late adulthood.
Infant Development (9 months)
- Notable characteristics include placing objects in the mouth and pulling up to stand.
Assessing Adolescent Patients
- Important to privately inquire about pregnancy for a 16-year-old female experiencing bleeding and cramping.
Blood Pressure in Infants
- Increases with age due to the correlation with normal body weight.
Infant Respiratory Rate
- A respiratory rate of 30 breaths per minute is considered normal for infants.
Increased Skull Bleeding Risk
- More directly related to the shrinkage of the brain as age increases.
Bag-Mask Ventilation in Infants
- Infants have fragile lungs, requiring careful management during ventilations.
Infants Developmental Milestone (3 months)
- A 3-month-old can reach out and typically starts drooling.
Attachment Types in Infants
- Repeated rejection leads to anxious-avoidant attachment.
Colds in Toddlers and Preschoolers
- Easily develop colds due to loss of passive immunity, underdeveloped lung musculature, and frequent social interactions with peers.
Toddler Pulse Rate
- Normal pulse rate ranges from 90 to 150 beats per minute.
Peer Approval in School-Age Children
- Seeking approval from peers indicates conventional reasoning.
Self-Concept
- Refers to an individual's perception of themselves and how they view their identity.
