Answer to Question 1

C
A decreasing level of consciousness indicates a problem with shunt function and should be reported immediately to the neurosurgeon. Peristalsis is depressed during surgery. Hypoactive bowel sounds may be evident after surgery as peristalsis returns to its preoperative function. Congestion in the upper airways may be evident after surgery. Mild incisional pain is a normal finding in the postoperative period.

Answer to Question 2

D
Parents living what they believe give nonambivalent messages and foster the child's moral development and reasoning. Telling the child what is right and wrong is not effective unless the child has experienced what he or she hears. Parents need to live according to the values they are teaching to their children. Vigilant monitoring of the child and his or her peers is an inappropriate action for the parent to initiate. It does not foster moral development and reasoning in the child. Weekly family meetings to discuss behaviors may or may not be helpful in the development of moral reasoning.
