Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
Encouraging outdoor active recreation, teaching critical viewing techniques, and letting the child choose a book to read would help limit television viewing. Viewing should be limited to 2 hours or less per day. Television should not be viewed during meals.

Answer to Question 2

Feedback
1. Positioning the head of the bed slightly elevated will take weight off of the diaphragm and allow for full chest expansion.
2. Placing the child at a 90 degree angle will put too much pressure on the diaphragm, thus causing the shortness of breath to continue.
3. A side lying position does not help to support the diaphragm or aid in relieving the shortness of breath.
4. Sitting in a chair will place more stress on the accessory muscles, thus the child will continue to have shortness of breath.
