Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals to reduce the number of diagnostic or therapeutic procedures for children by providing health counseling to both parent and child on ways to prevent children from becoming ill and subsequently requiring hospitalization, such as teaching sound nutrition and instructing on practices on avoiding unintentional injury. The goal is to reduce the number of diagnostic tests and not encourage them to be done annually. Focusing on the controversy with immunizations will not support the 2020 National Health Goals.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Consistent bedtime rituals help the toddler prepare for sleep; the parent should be advised to choose a bedtime and stick to it as much as possible. The nightly routine might include a bath followed by reading a story. A typical toddler should sleep through the night and take one daytime nap. Most children discontinue daytime napping at around 3 years of age. When the crib becomes unsafe (that is, when the toddler becomes physically capable of climbing over the rails), then he or she must make the transition to a bed. Attention during night waking should be minimized so that the toddler receives no reward for being awake at night.
