Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect: Preparing to give the school-aged child an injection, the nurse's best course of action is not to ask a parent which site is preferred, ask the school-aged child.
B Correct: School-aged children need to gain some control over their environment and should be offered choices whenever possible. Allowing a child to choose the limb for the injection site would be a key example.
C Incorrect: Preparing to give the school-aged child an injection, the nurse's best course of action is not to select a site without consulting anyone, consult the school-aged child.
D Incorrect: Preparing to give the school-aged child an injection, the nurse's best course of action is not to ask the outgoing shift nurse what site would be best, offer the choice to the school-aged child.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
