Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
The child is more likely to eat small amounts of foods of his choosing. This accommodates the child's reduced appetite, reassures the parents that he is not starving, and gives the child a sense of control. Straightening up the child's area before meals provides a more pleasant eating environment. The use of antiemetics controls nausea but may not increase appetite. Urging the child to eat a substantial meal is unnecessary and creates stress.

Answer to Question 2

D
Response:
Coordinating care with the schedules and capabilities of the parents provides the greatest support for the family. It gives them a sense of order and control. Integrated health care programs may not be available in the area. Teaching therapy modifications for travel and assessing family expectations are not supportive interventions.
