Answer to Question 1

A
A red, flat, or raised malar butterfly rash over the cheeks and bridge of the nose is a clinical manifestation of SLE. A major manifestation of rheumatic fever is erythema marginatum, which appears as red skin lesions spread peripherally over the trunk. An erythematous rash, induration of the hands and feet, and erythema of the palms and soles are manifestations of Kawasaki disease. Initial symptoms of anaphylaxis include severe itching and rapid development of erythema.

Answer to Question 2

D
Dying children know they are dying. Disclosure of awareness of death comes in various ways and needs to be identified by the family and the nurse. The major concern is the child's disclosure of awareness of death, not the husband's reaction. Making statements such as giving in is inappropriate when seeking information. Manipulation is not a major concern during the terminal stage of disease.
