Final answer:

True, an APRN may indeed use Level 1 and Level 2 cross-cutting symptoms measures with a 5-year-old child, as they aid in assessing psychiatric symptoms across different domains for a thorough evaluation.

Step-by-step explanation:

True. An APRN (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse) may seek to utilize both Level 1 and Level 2 cross-cutting symptoms measures when working with a child in a pediatric practice setting. These diagnostic tools help in evaluating the presence and severity of psychiatric symptoms across different psychological domains. While such tools are not commonly used for children as young as 5 years old, they can be adapted for use with pediatric populations if necessary. These measures are part of a broader, more comprehensive evaluation and are supplemental to the primary diagnostic assessment. They are designed to help identify additional areas of concern that might not be the primary focus of the visit but need to be addressed for holistic care.
