Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: These are skills the child will learn in school. The nurse is more concerned about psychological preparation for starting school.
Rationale 2: By telling the child how lonely she will be while the child is at school, the mother will make the child feel guilty about abandoning her.
Rationale 3: The ability to separate from the mother is key to an easy transition to school.
Rationale 4: An older child is not the person to accompany the child. It is appropriate to visit the classroom and meet the teacher prior to the first day of school.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: While the child may be physically dependent, this is not the meaning of tolerance.
Rationale 2: Addiction refers to a compulsive use of a substance despite harm. This is not the definition of tolerance.
Rationale 3: Withdrawal occurs when the opioid is stopped suddenly. This is not the meaning of tolerance.
Rationale 4: Tolerance occurs when the body has become accustomed to the presence of the drug in the system. When this happens, the child will need more of a drug or a stronger drug to get the same effect.
Global Rationale:

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
