Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Children with disabilities need more calories, vitamins, minerals, and protein than do non-disabled children. A normal 4-year-old child requires 70-90 kcal/kg/day, so this amount needs to be increased to a point at which the child is gaining weight and has the stamina to complete appropriate activities within his or her capabilities. The child should not be fed as any other 4-year-old. Telling parents to give extra protein and vitamins is vague. Increasing calories includes increasing all food groups, but the disabled child specifically needs more protein.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
There are both state and federal insurance programs for children. The nurse should arrange a visit from the social worker who can discuss the options, give information in writing, and assist the father in applying for benefits. Simply giving written information is not as helpful; the nurse has not assessed the father's literacy level, the father may have questions, or the father may not understand how to follow up. Never tell someone you know how they feel, because you don't and can't know exactly how they feel. Telling the father not to worry is dismissive of his concerns.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
