Answer to Question 1

B
Giving equal time to all of the children may not be possible. The siblings should be encouraged to participate in the care of the dying child. They may feel jealous of the extra attention the dying child is receiving. The siblings should be allowed to express their feelings. Jealousy about the extra attention should be expected. The parents should continue to enforce all of the rules.

Answer to Question 2

D
For a post-tonsillectomy patient, cool (not cold) drinks may be offered. Citrus juices and carbonated drinks are avoided due to the possibility of inducing hemorrhage. Red-colored foods are avoided also as they can mask bleeding.
