Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect: This is an inappropriate intervention and assumes the child did something wrong and deserved the abuse.
B Correct: When interviewing a child suspected of being abused, it is important to reassure the child that he or she is not in trouble and that the child has not done anything wrong. Children often assume they are to blame for the caregiver's actions; therefore, it is important to remind them the injuries are not their fault.
C Incorrect: Telling the child that he or she has nothing to fear from the parents is not an appropriate intervention. Some parents may become angry that the child talked with the nurse and react by injuring the child again.
D Incorrect: Seeing what the child has done in response to any abusive behavior from the parents is not significant information to obtain.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. Severity of the reason for hospitalization is important in planning time and attention to the children, but after thinking about their developmental level.
B Incorrect. Looking at age and intelligence of the child establishes a notion of their developmental level, but is not as important as thinking about their perceptions and how they might interpret what is happening.
C Correct. The developmental level of children and their perceptions and interpretations of experiences are more important than the actual events.
D Incorrect. The parents' emotional, physical, and financial needs can dramatically effect the child's status, but first think about the perceptions and interpretations of the experience by the child.
