Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Rationale: The role of the pediatric nurse includes providing nursing
assessment, direct nursing care interventions, client and family education at
developmentally appropriate levels, client advocacy, case management,
minimization of distress, and enhancement of coping. Advanced practice nurse
practitioners perform assessment, diagnosis, and management of health
conditions.

Answer: 2, 3, 4
Rationale: Federal guidelines mandate that research participants 7 years old and
older must receive developmentally appropriate information about healthcare
procedures and treatments and give assent.
