Answer to Question 1

B
Open-ended questions encourage communication. Ensuring a positive outcome from the hospital experience can be optimized by the nurse addressing the health needs of family members as well as the needs of the child. Was this admission an emergency?, Who is taking care of your other children while you are here?, and Is this the child's first hospitalization? are closed-ended questions. The nurse would have to ask other questions to gather additional information.

Answer to Question 2

D
Cooperation will increase and anxiety will decrease if the child's normal routine and rituals are maintained. Some regression to previous behaviors is normal during hospitalization, even when the child has been practicing the skill for some time. Hospitalization is a stressful experience and is not an appropriate time to learn or relearn a skill. Developmentally, the 3 1/2-year-old child cannot use a bedpan independently.
