Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
Feedback:
Guidelines for teaching the cognitively challenged child include providing generous praise, reducing environmental stimulation, breaking a task down into smaller steps, and demonstrating the skill to be performed. Cognitively challenged children may have difficulty with learning abstract concepts and should not be scolded.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Although central venous access devices can be used short term, the majority are used for moderate- to long-term therapy, such as chemotherapy. Central venous access devices are indicated when the child lacks suitable peripheral access, requires IV fluid or medication for more than 3 to 5 days, or is to receive specific treatments, such as the administration of highly concentrated solutions or irritating drugs that require rapid dilution. Peripheral IV devices are used for most other IV therapies.
