Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Sleep requirements decrease during school-age years; 5-year-old children generally require 11.5 hours of sleep.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
When nurses present sexual information to children, they should treat sex as a normal part of growth and development. Nurses should answer questions honestly, matter-of-factly, and at the children's level of understanding. School-age children may be more comfortable when boys and girls are segregated for discussions.
