Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. The nurse may perform passive ROM exercises on the child, but the child is incapable of doing active ROM exercises.
2. The child who is unconscious is unable to take anything by mouth, and thus will need IV therapy for hydration.
3. The child would not be permitted to be transferred to a wheelchair or take whirlpool baths.
4. The child would not be permitted to be transferred to a wheelchair or take whirlpool baths.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale:

1. As advances in genetics continue, nurses will need to become familiar with more disorders in order to provide appropriate care for these children.
2. Regardless of the time these children will survive, nurses must still spend time at the bedside in order to provide appropriate nursing care.
3. Children with genetic disorders typically require more care that is more complex.
4. Children with genetic disorders will obtain the care needed regardless of the expense.
