Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Chronic sorrow is manifested by feelings of sorrow and loss that recur in waves over time. The sorrow is a response to the recognition of the child's limitations. The family should be assessed in an ongoing manner to provide appropriate support as their needs change. The sorrow is not preventable. The chronic sorrow occurs during the reintegration and acknowledgment stage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Parenting a child with a chronic illness can be stressful. At certain anticipated times, parental stress increases. One of these identified times is when the child begins school. Nurses can help parents recognize and plan interventions to work through these stressful periods. The parents are not in denial; rather, they are responding to the child's placement in school. The parents are not exhibiting signs of a remembering deficit; this is their first interaction with the school system with this child.
