Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: The odor is caused by the excretion of phenylketone by-products through the skin and would indicate noncompliance with the dietary restrictions.
Rationale 2: While this is a characteristic of most children with PKU, it is not related to dietary intake or restrictions.
Rationale 3: This is not a symptom of untreated phenylketonuria.
Rationale 4: Photophobia is not associated with PKU. The child with untreated PKU has an eczema rash.

Answer to Question 2

2,5
Rationale 1: Tea contains caffeine and should be avoided at bedtime.
Rationale 2: A nighttime routine warns the body that bedtime is approaching and will help the body prepare to rest.
Rationale 3: When you can't sleep at night, the tendency is to sleep until noon the next day or take a nap in the afternoon. Both activities will inhibit sleep the following night.
Rationale 4: Exercising immediately before going to bed will stimulate the body and keep the child awake.
Rationale 5: Light in the room can interfere with a deep sleep.
