The nurse is caring for a 10-year-old child during a well-child check.
 
  The child shares with the nurse that she is embarrassed at school when people find out that her 7-year-old sister only has one arm because of a car accident in which the other arm was injured and had to be amputated. Which of the following statements would be most appropriate for the nurse to make to the child?
  A) Your sister didn't want to lose her arm; you shouldn't feel embarrassed.
  B) That must be confusing but it's important for your sister that you support her.
  C) That must be hard. I know you love your sister; it's normal for you to feel a little embarrassed.
  D) Your sister probably feels more embarrassed than you do.

Question 2

The caregivers of 8-year-old Alicia, diagnosed with a chronic illness, are talking with the nurse about how they plan to care for their child at home.
 
  In discussing the dietary aspects of her treatment, the caregivers tell the nurse that the entire family is going to follow her diet. In addition, time will be spent each day to focus on the child's growth and development, and tasks will be given to each of her siblings to help in the care of the ill child as well as to help the home run smoothly while the caregivers focus on Alicia. Which of the following statements would be most appropriate for the nurse to respond to the caregivers?
  A) That's wonderful. She is lucky to have caregivers who are so willing to make whatever sacrifices necessary in caring for her.
  B) That sounds really effective. Is it necessary for all the family members to follow the same diet?
  C) It sounds like you have a good plan. It is really great that her siblings will be picking up extra tasks as a way to support their sister.
  D) You are very devoted. Siblings often feel guilty or jealous; be sure that time is planned to spend with those children as well.
