Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Incorporating play into the therapeutic program for a child with CP often requires great ingenuity and inventiveness from those involved in the child's care. Objects and toys are chosen for the child's developmental stage to provide needed sensory input using a variety of shapes, forms, and textures. Nurses can help parents integrate therapy into play activities in natural ways.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
It is essential to assess the infant before surgery to obtain a baseline. Postoperative changes can be identified and a determination can be made regarding pain or change in status. The parents are not ready for discharge teaching. Their focus is on the congenital defect and surgery. Although a remote possibility, allergic reactions rarely occur on the first dose. Determining whether this defect exists in other family members is an important part of the history but is not a priority before surgery.
