Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A clinical manifestation of heart failure is wheezing from pulmonary congestion. The blood pressure decreases, urine output decreases, and heart rate increases.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The nurse should suggest to the parent that questions should be phrased with realistic choices rather than yes or no answers. This provides a sense of control for the toddler and reduces the opportunity for negativism. Negativism is not an indication of stubbornness or insolence and should not be punished. The negativism is not a function of attention; the child is testing limits to gain an understanding of the world. The toddler is too young to comply with requests not to say no.
