Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, E
The children's hospital unit differs in many respects from adult divisions. The pediatric unit or hospital is designed to meet the needs of children and their parents. A cheerful, casual atmosphere helps to bridge the gap between home and hospital and is in keeping with the child's emotional, developmental, and physical needs. Nurses wear colorful uniforms, and colored bedspreads and wagons or strollers for transportation provide a more homelike atmosphere. The physical structure of the unit includes furniture of the proper height for the child, soundproof ceilings, and color schemes with eye appeal. Most pediatric departments include a playroom.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E
Small children all share the same basic fears relative to hospitalization, which are separation from family, pain, and body intrusion or mutilation.
