In order to prepare a six-year-old client for an intravenous catheter insertion, the nurse's best response would be:

  2. It is okay to cry. I know that this hurts.
  3. Why are you crying? I thought that you were a tough kid.
  4. Don't worry a bit; this is just like a little mosquito bite.

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: This statement may be confusing to the six-year-old child. In addition, it is telling the child what to do.
Rationale 2: This statement is an accepting response that lets a child know that it is okay to express feelings.
Rationale 3: This statement belittles the child's expressed feelings. Children should not be told to not cry. Children and adults should be able to express their feelings.
Rationale 4: In order to maintain trust, it is important to be honest. To a child, an IV stick is not a mosquito bite. Telling a child not to worry will not make the child feel better.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Acute pain stimulates the adrenergic nervous system and results in physiology changes, including tachycardia, tachypnea, hypertension, pupil dilation, pallor, increased perspiration, and increased secretion of catecholamine and adrenocorticoid hormones.
2. The limbic system is not stimulated with acute pain.
3. The autonomic nervous system, or the fight-or-flight system, is not stimulated with acute pain.
4. The reticular system is not stimulated with acute pain.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
