Answer to Question 1

D
A toddler who feels like getting out of bed and walking should do so; however, keep in mind that a child with an infectious disease should stay within the confines of the room.

Answer to Question 2

C
The most appropriate position for a 1-day post-operative child with a VP shunt is on the back to prevent a too-rapid reduction of fluid from the head. Rapid fluid loss from the ventricles may lead to seizures or cortical bleeding.
