Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Since the preschool child is facing the psychosocial task of initiative versus guilt, it is natural for the child to experience guilt when something goes wrong. The child may have a strong belief that if someone is ill or dying, he or she may be at fault and the illness or death is punishment. It is less likely that the girl would be at risk of harming the baby or experiencing clinical depression as a result of the baby's illness. The child may create an imaginary friend to cope with the illness, but would not withdraw or express sadness as a result of the imaginary friend.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
Feedback:
Observations that the infant is experiencing pain at a level 3 include a high-pitched cry, not sleeping, and a heart rate elevated to greater than 20 over the baby's baseline. Grimacing and falling asleep for short periods indicate pain at a level 2.
