Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Because of their stage of cognitive development, which is concrete operations, school-age children learn best by demonstration. The nurse needs to do more than talk about the procedure. Showing pictures of the procedure is not enough with this age group. Reviewing the written steps of the procedure is too advanced for this age group.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals by consulting with schools and health care organizations to develop what health teaching programs are needed and then teaching in such programs. Developing a teaching plan for a child, examining teaching materials, and assessing learning needs of parents will not necessary help achieve the 2020 National Health Goals.
