Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Wilms' tumor is a solid, encapsulated mass that can rupture with palpation. Once the child is diagnosed with this cancer, palpation of the child's abdomen is prohibited. The other actions are appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
This child has manifestations of increased intracranial pressure, a possible outcome after brain surgery. The nurse prepares to administer a corticosteroid to decrease the edema. Fosphenytoin and phenytoin are for seizures. Odansetron is for nausea.
