Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The major stressor for children from infancy through the preschool years is separation anxiety, also called anaclitic depression. This is a major stressor of hospitalization. Loss of control, fear of bodily injury, and fear of pain are all stressors associated with hospitalization. However, separation from family is a primary stressor in this age group.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D
A home care nurse can establish therapeutic nurse-family boundaries by negotiating house rules and ensuring that communication is open and two-way. Visiting the family of off-duty days and buying expensive gifts for the child would be boundary crossing and nontherapeutic.
