Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale:
1. The child should not be exposed to other children with potentially infectious illnesses, so a semi-private room is not appropriate.
2. Reverse isolation is not necessary.
3. The child is not contagious, and contact isolation is not necessary.
4. Splenic sequestration can be life-threatening, and there is profound anemia. The child should not be placed in a room with any child who might have an infectious illness. A private room is appropriate for this child.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Restraints are used only as a last resort and are not appropriate for an IV start.
Rationale 2: Moderate sedation has its own side effects and possible complications and should not be used for quick procedures.
Rationale 3: Drugs may not be used for quick procedures, such as a dressing change or an unexpected intravenous insertion, injection, or venipuncture.
Rationale 4: Complementary therapiesespecially guided imagery, relaxation techniques, and distractioncan reduce the anxiety associated with the anticipation of the procedure.
Global Rationale:
