Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Three-year-old children become aware of anatomic differences and are concerned about how the other sex works. Such exploration should not be condoned or condemned. Children should not be punished for this normal exploration. This is age appropriate and not dangerous behavior. Encouraging the children to ask their parents questions and redirecting their activity is more appropriate than giving permission.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Nursing considerations with regard to chest tubes attached to a water-seal drainage system include (1) do not interrupt water-seal drainage unless the chest tube is clamped, (2) check for tube patency (fluctuation in the water-seal chamber), and (3) maintain sterility. The chest tube should not be clamped when ambulating the child and the drainage is measured in the collection chamber, not emptied.
