Answer to Question 1
A
Feedback:
Learning occurs best with positive reinforcement. Behavior modification is a term used for a system aimed at erasing some form of behavior that interferes with healthy functioning. The basic premise of behavior modification is that a child is rewarded for healthful behavior, whereas unhealthful behavior is ignored or unrewarded. The preferred behavior is praised, and the unacceptable behavior is ignored. Children respond best to behavior modification if they receive a tangible reward such as a sticker for good behavior. Taking away television, giving extra chores, and not permitting outdoor play are negative behaviors and do not support behavior modification.
Answer to Question 2
D
Feedback:
The mother appears overwhelmed, which would indicate anxiety related to the amount of learning needed to care for the child at home. This is the diagnosis that the nurse should use to guide the mother's learning needs. The mother is not asking questions about the care so health-seeking behavior is not appropriate at this time. The mother appears overwhelmed so effective coping is not appropriate at this time. The nurse has not assessed the mother so deficient knowledge is not appropriate at this time.
