Answer to Question 1

B
This normal vaginal discharge, sometimes referred to as pseudomenstruation, is caused by the withdrawal of maternal hormones and disappears within a few days.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Before anyone can be cared for at home, teaching will be required so the family understands the illness and principles of care. Because the patient is a school-age child, the nurse should provide choices so that the patient has a sense of control over the situation. Soaking both hands may or may not be medically necessary. Telling the patient to stay in bed or soaking the hands now does not provide the patient with a sense of control and may lead to resistance or nonadherence to medical treatment.
