Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: The trait of prominent epicanthal folds is a cultural variation in Asian families. Resonant lungs and the absence of ringing in the ears are normal findings.
Rationale 2: A broad face is likely to be a family trait. Lichenification is thickening of the skin often due to chronic irritation. Spider angiomas are a common, benign skin lesion.
Rationale 3: A normocephalic head, euthyroid, and five digits per extremity are normal findings.
Rationale 4: Cleft lip and/or cleft palate, diaphragmatic hernia, or cataract may have a genetic basis, and the family may benefit from a genetic referral.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 4

Rationale:
1. Before the visit, talk with the siblings about what to expect, and describe how their sibling will look.
2. Inform siblings about ill siblings using language and concepts appropriate to their ages and developmental tasks.
3. Describe the hospital environment, including equipment, sounds, and smells.
4. Using a doll, drawing pictures, or showing an actual picture of the child can help prepare the siblings.
5. Siblings should be allowed to visit. Such a visit should be encouraged if the child could potentially die.

Did you know?

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.
