Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Taking a prescribed dose of diuretic medications can relieve the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. Maintaining a low-salt diet for 1 to 2 weeks during the premenstrual cycle instead of during the menstrual periods helps to reduce the symptoms of PMS. Increasing protein and decreasing sugar intake are effective measures for relieving PMS. Avoiding caffeinated substances, such as coffee, can reduce the symptoms of PMS.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse must involve the family caregivers in treatment planning. This provides emotional support to the child. The nurse should not use baby talk because this may lead to confusion. The nurse should encourage the child to be as independent as possible; this will help to maintain a balance between the need for assistance and achieving independence in daily activities. Encouraging the client to perform all the normal things that others do emphasizes normalcy. The child should actively participate in group activities such as sports, music, and art.
