Answer to Question 2

Rationale:
1. The nursing process is used when providing care for children in the health center, and in some cases in the mobile health van. The range of assessment responsibilities can vary by setting, as can the preparation and experience of the nurse. Specific functions of the pediatric nurse in this setting include identifying children in need of urgent care or isolation.
2. Nurses do not perform minor surgical procedures, regardless of location.
3. The nurse could provide nursing care, not medical care, to chronically ill children.
4. Nurses do not perform major surgical procedures, regardless of location.
