Answer to Question 1

3. Accompany the UAP and demonstrate care needed.

Rationale:
The nurse would show the UAP the exact procedure the first time to avoid any confusion. The nurse would reassess the client's skin later rather than asking the UAP if the task was done. The nurse could possibly alarm the client by asking the client if care was appropriate. Closely observing the UAP defeats the purpose of delegation.

Answer to Question 2

1. Give instructions verbally and use a picture pamphlet, repeating points more than once

Rationale:
A teaching session for a child with ADHD should foster attention. Giving instructions verbally and in written form, repeating the main points, will improve learning for a child with ADHD. Talking to other children who have had this procedure may not foster understanding, because this child has ADHD. A child who has difficulty concentrating should not lead the session even though the child needs to feel in control. The environment should be quiet, with minimal distractions. Distractions such as noise from a television should be minimized.
