Answer to Question 1

B
Honesty is the best approach and a venipuncture may hurt. Children should be told what sensation they will feel during a procedure. A 5-year-old child should not be expected to hold still, and assistance ensures safety to everyone. The nurse should not tell the child to a be a big boy and hold still or that it will be over in just a second as this is not supportive or honest. Parents should be encouraged to remain with the child unless they are extremely uncomfortable doing so.

Answer to Question 2

C, A, E, B, D
The stages of grieving, in order, include denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
