Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. Removing a central line is not within the realm of what family members need to do at home.
2. Prior to discharge, the family might need to learn physical and rehabilitative procedures for the child's care. For the child requiring complex long-term care, parent might need to learn about oxygen administration.
3. The nurse can never assume the family members are familiar with the care required, even if they have been participating during the hospital stay.
4. Starting an IV line is not within the family's responsibilities for home care.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4
Rationale:
1. The intense pain and shock initially felt by parents gradually give way to feelings of anger, guilt, depression, and loneliness.
2. The intense pain and shock initially felt by parents gradually give way to feelings of anger, guilt, depression, and loneliness.
3. The intense pain and shock initially felt by parents gradually give way to feelings of anger, guilt, depression, and loneliness.
4. The intense pain and shock initially felt by parents gradually give way to feelings of anger, guilt, depression, and loneliness.
5. High energy is not felt during the mourning period.
