Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
Caring for children at regional referral centers creates problems for families who are impacted by the separation and the high-acuity illness of their child. Changes should consider the emotional needs of the families, both child and family growth and development theories, and evidence-based practice. Family partnering is a way to involve families in the care of their children and is more beneficial to families than nurse-driven care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
4, 2, 1, 5, 3
A concept map is similar to the nursing process and uses five steps. Begin with assessing the patient and draw a skeleton diagram using the medical diagnosis as the center. Next, categorize all the assessment data under patient problem areas. Step 3 is to analyze relationships among the factors and to prioritize patient responses. The fourth step is to determine beneficial goals and outcomes with the patient/family. The final step is evaluation.
