Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2, 5
Explanation: According to Piaget, the 6-year-old child is in the preoperational stage of cognitive development. Children in this stage benefit from the nurse offering explanations of assessments and procedures and providing opportunities to touch or play with medical equipment prior to assessments and procedures. Promoting interaction with peers and providing information in both verbal and written form are interventions best used for children ages 11 and older, who are at the formal operational stage. Providing consistency of caregiver as well as addressing stranger anxiety are interventions best provided for children up to age two, who are in the sensorimotor stage of cognitive development.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: Using the Rogerian approach, the clinician should focus on clarifying the client's experience and feelings. Rogers's theory stresses unconditional positive regard, so the clinician should not be critical. Using the Rogerian approach, the clinician should avoid giving advice. This nondirective approach doesn't facilitate changes that clients may need to make to alleviate stress.
